Introduction

By its very nature this has to be a free-form poem. Many of us will have had this conversation or something very similar, not only with small children but with rebellious teenagers and even annoying characters you have to sometimes work with.

The music is the brilliant "Problem Child" by Graham Parker and The Rumour from the album "Stick To Me"
