Oh, Good Lord

I’m impatient, get frustrated

seems this mood might be contagious

Back it up please, I can't face it

your expectations are outrageous

How you hold me to a standard

that you don't observe yourself

You insist on being pampered

your needs above EVERYone else

If I could, I'd smack your mother

but it's your dad you get that from

What she's put up with, makes me shudder

I'd love to kick him in the bum

But there's a point when you should stand up

be better than that piece of shit

Instead, you use him as your crutch

so you can get away with it

How I fell into your trap

I look back now and scold myself

I'm so far now, from all your crap

but I think it's time you got some help

You have a small boy learning lessons

how he'll turn out, is up to you

Please don't repeat your dad's transgressions

do better so that he can too
