Hello, My Name is Flippy Flopperson

Why is it, that one minute,
everyone is happy and playing nicely together,
the sun is shining ... all is well.
And then all of a sudden,
one person hits another,
the one is crying, the other is screaming,
the clouds roll in and I feel like I want to yell.
You'd think that they could tell
When minds start to rebel
Then angry music swells
No longer-all is well
How can I compel
These sweet little belles
To not want to yell?
a spell?
jail cell?
Then I say a quick prayer
and start to declare
That Brielle has great flair
and Linzi's nice hair
Tessa's smile is rare
Wouldn't it be nice to share?
They all shrug and say
Okay.

Good writing and good message! I need to do more prayer, instead of yell!

Who knew that arguing kids could inspire such clever poetry? Very funny, I love it.

I like it too. It is clever, visually appealing, and oh, so true.
