Phone Time

The house may be quite,
and your children are leaving you alone.
Don’t be lulled into believing,
hat you can now use the phone.

For before you return your party’s
“Hello. How are you today?”
your little ones will be at your side
demanding that you play.

Or that you answer their question,
one that simply won’t wait.
Or they may tear through the house,
doing all the things mother hates.

But you know they’re out to get you, and they’re more than a little bored,
when they tangle their little body
within your phone’s cord.

And so the moral of my tale
is plain for all to see.
Lock yourself behind a door
where just you hold the key.

And it would also be a help
to have sound proof walls,
before any mom or dad
places future calls!
