Today’s Kids
Today’s Kids―Kids! I don‘t know what‘s wrong with these kids today!
―Kids! Who can understand anything they say?
―Kids! They‘re disobedient, disrespectful oafs!
―Noisy, crazy, dirty, lazy loafers!
―Kids! You can talk and talk until your face turns blue!
―Kids! But they still do just what they want to do!
―Why can‘t they be like we were? Perfect in every way!
―What‘s the matter with kids today?!?
--from the song, ―Kids‖, by Lee Adams
