SINGLE PARENTING

They start a happy family
A husband wife and child
Then they start to grow apart
They know it all the while
The now disfunctioned. unit
Is difficult to raise
The late night temper tantrums
And the story telling phase
The "I don't have to listen"
And the "You can't make me" times
The ever lasting fighting
With the screams, cries and wines
If you think kids are easy
Then you'd better think again
Because they only try you
And they make you one of them
If you don't have a partner
Who'll be there until the end
Then please don't try for children
Cause who'll miss that extra friend.
