Walkin' the yellow line

She is but a babe in the woods,  yet to learn that you don't put   off till tomorrow what you can do today I feel like I am banging my head against a wall. the feeling of,Damned if you do damned if you don't Her chip on her shoulder is the size of Texas, A Sly little fox out for an easy meal  in the sweet mask of the innocent   out to find tall tales amongst the weeds "Ask me no questions and I will tell you no lies AuntieI couldn't possible know what you mean to tell me  I am so put upon by your chores and high expectations" We are past putting her over my knee  their is nothing left to uncoverWe have now been left with a battle of wills and I can tell you who will win this rodeo   No battle of wit's here, she is unarmed     and out gunnedI've got this all wrapped up like pigs in a blanket   and hog tied like an old pro  So she has no more sorry excuses to hide behind   And my sympathetic shoulder is     collapsing under the intense pressure  Just plain old fact. I try to pass my wisdom on but I get slapped in the face for my effort   Scratch that, deckedBut I am sure that will be the last time she will make that mistake     at least with little ole me  you know the old saying an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth and all,   Could a rose by any other name smell as sweet,  it sure the hell could if it respected me and told the truth but she will learn, come hell or high water   no child of mine will get away with highway snobbery OK. That's all folks, shows over, exit (comment) stage left
