Mother day after day always working,
scuffing and toiling to make ends meet
at horrible jobs by honest means.
We hardly get to see her during the day,
but when night arrives
she still stifles the energy,
to see if we're in bed
and well fed.
Father works five days a week,
and always sleeps.
He has a tall deposition
with pepper hair.
Glasses high up his nose.
Tries to be funny,
but never knows the way his children
feel when their always told no
He doesn't want to understand.
He isn't their best friend.
He doesn't try to get to know them.
