Our Obedient, Respectful Daughter Poem by Raj Arumugam

Our Obedient, Respectful Daughter

Rating: 4.5


our daughter
if nothing else
is so respectful
of her elders and so,
consequently,
she is obedient

why, just the other day
her teacher asks
in Nature revision:
What do you call the outside of a tree?
and my little girl so honest
which is something else she is
confesses her ignorance

Bark, Susan
says the teacher
offering the answer;
and Susan
ever obedient and respectful
she goes:
Bow-wow!
Bow-wow!

Oh, our Susan
she’s so respectful and obedient
we’re so, so proud of her
