Write in rhyme you say, about a naughty child
We have one of them, she really drives me wild
The battle begins when the alarm does buzz
I stretch and yawn trying to clear mind of fuzz
Oh please may she get up with minimal fuss
So I don't need to rant, rave, abuse and cuss
How hard can it be to get out of her bed
My sanity holding by thinnest of thread
"Who drew on my monitor?", was my question
" It wasn't me" she said, without expression
"Well WHO did it?" I said "Maybe it's the cat"
I'm sick of these daily games and combat
"I accidently broke the door" she did say
On one hinge it hung, as I looked in dismay
"Accidently my arse" I think were my words
I wish I could just fly away with the birds
A "TYPICAL KID" is what some like to quote
Tell THEM not to want to place hands round her throat
God give me the strength and patience I'm craving
Each day I pray for an angel behaving.
Author notes
I have a 13 year old Step-daughter and I think I've gone mad.
Please tell me what you think

Poor you
I bet you anything that she deliberately tests you to see how far she can push your buttons. Step children can be very clever when it comes to that. Well done.

Thanks Janice I appreciate your comment

Try ignoring her. LOL maybe she will find that totally frustrating and stop trying to take you on.

My sympathies go out to you. A great tale of life with a disgruntled teenager...only a few more years to go
All the best in the contest...Sue

I'd advise you not to have kids UNLESS you are sure you are ready for it. My own daughter was pretty much the same as this one and I thought I was WELL AND TRULY OVER IT. Thank you for your comment and applause. I really apprectiate it

Well written, good meter and rhyme.

We both know it's Purdy the cat
Responsible for ALL that crap
"I KNOOOOOW" you think it's SHE who did
Leave shit upon the lavvy lid
Spill porridge on the kitchen floor?
"No She Didn't"...'twas cat for sure!
I could go on but we both know...
It's not the cat who steals that show
PUTS HAND UP AS EYE WITNESS FOR THE EMOTIONALLY DISTURBED PENNER OF THIS FANTASTIC POEM

One day I hope you two will look back and laugh about all this? but I doubt it as the cat poster says
"Hang in there, baby!" one good thing.. it tickled your muse!!!! according to me I was the PERFECT child at 13! but please don't ask my mother.

-
Yeah, I reckon I was the perfect child at 13 also Doc. Well...maybe not quite
I'd really love to look back on this and laugh...from the asylum
Thanks for reading my poem. I appreciate your comment and applause very much

well know this.. that I am sure you won't be alone at that asylum many moms will be there.. you all can have a party and talk about the bad old days of raising kids. Kids today, what can you say? that's why I have a cat!
hey isn't it your bed time? it must be.. cause it's mid-morning here -

Yep...tis nearly bed time. It's nearly midnight, my man is working night shift AGAIN and I'm finding it hard to keep my eyes open

I've seen the chaos she can create in your home and I think your words were rather understated sis
We've talked about this and I honestly think that both you and Bevan are the most amazing parents to still be giving all your love and attention where it isn't always appreciated or welcome. The fact that your sense of humour still shines through is a sign of the type of people you are.
I love the three of you so much and hope that one day, before you tear out too much more hair, things will improve for you.
Best of luck in the contest sis.
All my love
Margaret

Understated is an understatement but if I'd gone into too much detail I'd probably have sent the contest holder into therapy
As you said...at least I DO still have my sense of humour, although some days it's buried pretty deep and is the cause of my recent loss of muse
I truly appreciate your wonderful comment, support and encouragement...Oh yeah and the happy clappies
Thanks so much sis. Love you and miss you.
-
-
I can feel your pain.lol You have made my skin crawl. This is part of the reason I won't have any. Best of luck in the contest.
-
-
I thought I wouldn't have to go there AGAIN either. My own daughter was a carbon copy of this one
She's off my hands now tho and I thought all was just fine and dandy...WRONG !!
I appreciate your comment. Thank you for taking the time to read my poem
