if your parents
have to go on
national television
to express their
love for you
please
understand
they are simply
in it for the
money
and take a little
piece of advice
don’t have your
own children and
repeat the same
mistake
editors note:
Media appeal inspires parental instincts in our modern world; mistakes are inevitable. (We welcome J.J. to our Contributing Poets with this accepted poem – check out more of his madness on his new page.) – mh clay
