MOM, SON AND DAD

MOM, SON AND DAD


Mom, shall I too grow one day?
“Yes, certainly, my son.
One day you too will mature
Into a man big one”.

Mom, when I become a man,
Like papa, shall I, smoke?
Shall I be able to gulp
A bottle in a stroke?

“Son, you may, if you want to
Be that sort of a man.
Smoking burns the lungs inside.
Who likes a drunken man?”

Mom, I like my papa much.
I don’t think he is bad.
“Son, I wish that such harmful
Habits he never had”.
