Don’t bite your nails lady
Don’t fiddle with the milk cup
Your room the nest of a birdie
So please tidy up
Focus in class lil girl
And brush your teeth once at night and the day
Get your feet off the couch, don’t twirl
Do you hear what I say ?
Your writing is too big silly
Oh now its too small
Don’t pluck the leaves and lily
And please don’t write on the wall
Don’t talk too loud
Oh now you are talking too soft
Be polite, and respectful, not too proud
And please don’t climb the loft
You can be anything you want
The sky is your limit
But you can’t do things causing a taunt
And learn to be docile and delicate
-Miss not enjoying nagging

Wow! Your poem means so much to us
Because you make it plain
You don’t like us telling you and causing a fuss
Again and again and again
You made a wonder point with humor
Also with wit and rhyme
Dad and I got the message with a spur
And just in time!
Nagging is a parental obsession
Of this there is no doubt
So here is a big confession
We hear you, do you have another way to go about?
Darling, we are so proud of you and your swag!
And it’s a joy to watch you grow
The reason we nag nag nag
Is cause we love you so!
-Loving Nagging dad and mom!
