 Through The Eyes Of A Poet...

What A Difference!


When we were younger, we weren't out late,
8 o'clock bed – there was no debate!
We did as we were told, or a hiding we got!
Never answered back or for sure we'd be shot!

Respected our parents, no back chat from us!
If we got the blame for something, we took it, no fuss!
Cleaned our shoes till dad could see his face!
Left them for next morning with a perfectly laced up lace!

Always walked to school, no cars for us then!
And after a full day of lessons we'd walk home again!
But now you see the children answering back their mum,
Demanding a lift to school – this really isn't fun!

Out all hours no problem!  For the age is just sixteen!
That kids can do as they want and it makes you want to scream!
So yes, it was much better, when kids were, just that!
Kids did as they were told, or our parents wouldn't have that!

But government stepped in and took away our rights!
Now from sixteen it's out all hours at night!
Bring back the good old days! When parents had some say!
Instead of letting them ruin their lives lets make a stand today!

Back to 21 – that's what we need to see!
No kids in pubs, or hanging around...
NO! The 90's aren't best for me!
