mommy tell me why

when brother throws a tantrum
screams and bites his knee
then it comes to snack time
he always gets morther than me

or puppy digs up your flower be
d
then runs across the street
chews your bestest shoes up
he barks and gets a treat

i watch and i try to figure
doing all the things i should
so why is being naughty
so much funner than being good

dear me, this is a sad little poem, Pat. It's more the story of favourites perhaps. thank you for reading my poem, Waiting Women. Laurel

You hit the nail on the head. Parents unknowingly teach their children bad habits by praising bad behavior and forgetting the good behavior is ignored.

I immediately thought of Psalm 73 when I read your poem. I like the point of view that you used- the voice of a child. Children have such a keen sense of justice and fairness.Enjoyed the imagery.Great poem!

Pat,

Ah, the wisdom of a child. Even as adults being naughty is more fun!

Pat, I fear this has been the lament of many a brother, or sister (and probably lots of mother's & father's) since the dawn of time.

Nicely done, thanks Dick

..because it is..
an old friend of mine used to say
'i'm not good, i'm just good at being bad'
Lovely touch here, Pat.

Haha!! Gotta love it. Maybe that's why I've had so much fun in my life, huh? Gotta love it twice. This is just cute.

A question for the ages...let me know the answer, if you figure it out.
Cheers,
