All mothers know as children grow the way can be quite rough;
that laying down a rule at home is seldom what’s enough.
A gentle nudge from “Mom the Judge” can fail to have effect.
From time to time, just nag; remind. Or else, just give ‘em heck.

The ants that come for cracker crumbs that lie between the sheets
are gentle when compared to sickness that one’s strength depletes.
It’s like a curse when friends disperse because the car’s withdrawn.
So listen to your mother, e’re the privleges are gone.
