Teenagers

Teenagers

What is it about later teenage years
Is it cleanliness and tidiness they fear
I’ve done all my household chores
Cleaning, tidying and hoovered the floor

I venture out to buy some stuff
Finally I’ve bought quite enough
Arriving home thinking everything’s fine
Open the door, who’s let off the mine

House looks a complete and utter mess
Daughter’s home in a state of undress
She’s here to have a decent shower
Doesn’t even have the decency to cower

The look on my face should’ve said it all
My hands fisted up in a tight ball
I’m sure she would soon really fume
If I went and interfered in her room

So I am now having to start again
Shouting my feelings I will refrain
I’ll just get on with the tasks at hand
Inconsideration should really be banned
