Parents Before Parenthood: part 8
I’ll bake your bread
but never eat
I’ll curb your taste
with extra cheese
I’ll sell your wares
through cheeky grin
I’ll charm your trade
while breaking down
I’ll take your calls
neath frowning cheer
I’ll print your life
without the clout
I’ll scrub your floors
and your *****
I’ll give you time
at mine’s expense
for M.S-C. & M.S-P.
--
the ones that teach you,
who lift you up over
their heads
in good faith,
these are their stories.
