Rare



Rare.
And phenomenal it would be.
To hear the first words,
Coming out of the mouth...
Of a child,
Recently declaring...
I DISPUTE TO DESPISE,
TRUTH TO HEAR IT HEARD.
THAT THIS B.S. I SHOULD ACCEPT,
AS HAVING ANYTHING TO DO...
OF A REALITY I WILL REFUSE!

However...
Rare.
And never before to experience,
Are these days we now live.

'Doctor?
I am telling you.
That is not my voice you hear recorded.
My spouse and I tried our best,
To have our child see us as parents.
And not the fools,
My child repeatedly says we are.'

'I want to believe you.
I really do.
Play it back once again.
Until I can be made convinced of it.
And you say to claim,
Your child is just months old.'

'Yes. Yes.
I swear!'

'Forgive my insinuation.
But do you and your spouse,
Have disgusting potty mouths as well?
Since you confessed to say you swear!'
