Rant Poetry

Your Children Come First

Your children come first

Except when something else comes first

Our girls are young and need routines,

But you dance around like your in your teens

I have to make plans like a military operation,

But you go ahead, book yourself another vacation

Just because your money means they don't go without,

Don't kid yourself that's what parentings about

Horse riding lessons, and toy shop trips are all fantastic,

But I didn't bring my girls up to be so plastic

Throwing money around doesn't make you a better parent than me,

The thought of Havana's dentist appointment makes you flee 

Stop taking what the girls say as red,

Most of what they say comes straight from their head

Try ringing me first, before sending voile texts,

The girls are the only one your behavior effects

Your tantrums bother me less and less ,

If I'm honest I think your a laughable mess

So carry on with your childish ways,

Stand back and watch their childhood disappear in a haze.
