Don’t toss a pebble in the pond boy
Show a little restraint, behave...okay!
It’s assumed you could
But why would you
On this special day
Kindly direct
Your interest some other constructive way
Quick - without delay
Life’s a tug o’ war...of this and that
Good vs evil my Dear Son
To breach the lid
On the Granddad’s honey vat
Play catch with your dog
Or tease Mom’s innocent cat
Remember angels don’t tussle with fire
For most they tend to inspire
A bit of argy-bargy goes...a long way lad
Until the saint returns to you
The very one who seeks a classic read
And does his chores without a fuss
Exceeds expected deeds
Instead of Abel raisin’ cane
While actin’ half insane
Have ya lost your brain?
There will be no punishment today...this is our decree
If you’ll agree to take a break
And set your demons free
Let ‘em go on holiday
Put those thugs to rest
Have some turkey dinner now
Bring us pride and joy
May we have your promise Roy?
