Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Parents Know Best

Mom and Dad listen patiently

As declares one of their offspring

That time has come this youth should be

Out from under parental wing.

The parents have heard this before

As their offspring have come and gone.

It's normal so they don't ignore

And let the youngster sing song on

That youth should be allowed to fly

When youth feel fit and time is best

To learn life's lessons in the sky,

Which cannot be learned in the nest.

Then Mom and Dad tell their young bird,

When time to fly, they'll give the word.
