MOUTHWASH PLEASE <\/p>\n

Years ago when we were just kids,
\nOur parents could be quite rough,
\nSoap in mouth, pepper on tongue,
\nMy gosh those times were tough.<\/p>\n

But one thing is also certain,
\nWe learned to control our mouth,
\nBut if we acted disrespectfully,
\nWe’d sure get it on our south.<\/p>\n

But today it’s so very different,
\nLittle kids even use the f-bomb,
\nWe really should not blame them,
\nIt’s the fault of their dad and mom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
