A Thoughtful Parent
when a thoughtful parent
picks up their child late
events may have hidden motives
accidents emergencies
mechanical failure
gridlock traffic inhospitable
are but obvious reasons
truth may have simple
delightful more pleasant causes
it may not as seems be
because responsible parents
are apparently tardy
it may be because
their child wants to play
on swings after class
