They Find Me Extremely Humorous Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Those who take interest,
In the raising of their children...
With encouragement to adventure,
Their lives to live being versatile.
And curious about their environment.
Will never find any child of theirs,
Unprepared...
Sitting alone with nothing to do.
Especially if mommy and daddy,
Introduced them how to use a broom.
With a mopping of a floor.
Washing the dishes and taking out the trash.
How to cook.
Read a book.
Hygiene and ironing their own clothes.
Discipline and when to be respectful.

'Your home is so peaceful and quiet.
Where are your children? '

~Praying I am not finding more things,
To occupy their minds.~

'So you know where your children are? '

~Most definitely.
And they knew very early,
Where I was coming from, too! ~

'That's funny.'

~Yeah.
They find me extremely humorous.~
