Won’t Listen To Me

That she shrieked,
When she told her mother,
Use a hyperbaric chamber,
To end your confusion.

That he shrieked,
When he told his father,
Use ear candles,
So you can hear again.

That the child shrieked,
When he told his parents,
Prescriptions are poison,
You are peeing them in public water.

Why do you expect them,
To listen to you,
They changed your diapers,
They powdered your butt.

It works the other way,
You were dumb enough,
To change their diapers,
And powder their butts.

Tell their friends,
What you want them to know,
Their friends will cry success,
They will listen to their friends.

Powdered butt syndrome,
Has no cure,
Powdered butt syndrome,
Can be worked around.
