My Child Beware
my child beware- there are predators
lurking every where.
what are predators you want to know?
they are animals who move very slow.
you will not hear them when they
sneak up on you
like a lion with the deer it slew.
unlike the lion, these are two legged creatures
that have all our human features.
they smile and talk, and laugh
the same as me and you.
but there is something that
they want to do.
they want to steal you away from
your family and friends
and will continue to try to the very end,
they may offer you candy, sweets,
and all sorts of treats.
snatch you up and leave you on their car seats.
with two of your fingers poke them
in their eyes, kick their knees, kick their thighs.
scream and holler, kick and shout
that's what protecting you is all about.
never accept anything from a stranger
keep yourself out of danger.
always walk with one or two
this is all you have to do.
