Daddy’s a real devil
Mommy’s quite evil too
Martha – ever since you’re born
They only have time for you
…
Early in the morning
When I awake and rise
I see they’re already up
To appease your noisy cries
…
They serve me vegetables
And say it’s for my good
My dissent and rebellion
Are never understood
While you get all the love
And all the tasty food
Even though you say nothing
You’re always understood
…
They send me to school while
You have fun with them all day
They even give you my collection
Of action figures to play
…
Then they expect me to sleep
Pretty much on my own
While Daddy reads a tale to you
And Mommy sings a song
…
Hear all the tales from Daddy
Listen to all Mommy’s tunes
Laugh and cry all day and night
And play in the afternoons
Enjoy while you can Martha
You will grow up soon
We’re going to have a new sibling
Before the end of June
thats absolutly true.

Cracked me up with the truth of it all! My teen treats me like a devil for forcing her to wake up for school😆. Consoling too.
