once one starts
it can be difficult to halt
or
take fault
or somersault
back roll
pick up the troll
put him down
eat the greens before the sweets

the two being punished
should be in different rooms
but the little one snuck in to his sister's room
and now they're getting along!
these kids, I tell you what.

they don't know when to quit
leave it be
throw a fit
calmy rightly
shortly quietly
with the intellect
for the sake of bringing people together
