Award

If you are reasonable all week
If you do your homework
If you learn your lessons well
If you do not beat your mates If you
do not pull the dog's tail
If you eat your soup well
If you do not scream your grandmother
If you wash your hands before you sit down to table
If you brush your teeth well
If you go to bed without crying
If you are praying alone
If you are wise with Mom
Sunday we will see Dad Asylum

I let you down. I do not work in your crap of idyllic future.
