A to Z on a Plate - K

K is on our plate for today!  Kidos, though mispeled (that's the funny part), is still understandable.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

 

Kudos to Kiddos

We all know that they're called kiddos

Though that's a made-up word

We know that it means children

Who are seen but never heard

Absurd

Of course the kiddos nowadays

Are always heard and seen

It's hard to turn back time to when

The young were squeaky clean

Change scene 

To a time when we all played outside

Rode our bikes and ran around

A day when we played baseball

With all the kids we found

The sound

We laughed and rolled and spun and climbed

We fished and leaped the stream

And made such noise to raise a roof

To let off excess steam

and dream

Then we returned to do our chores

To sit and eat our meal

With parents at the table and

No phones to dull the real

Family deal. 

Please, resist the phones, pick up the ball

Skate rings around the pond

Put childhood's matters over tech

Keep close and grow that bond

So fond.

They need you now as well as later

You'll miss these kiddo years

If you don't open up your eyes

And squeaky clean those ears

No tears

If you stay present in the time

That's fleeting at its best

And give attention where it's due

Inside your family nest

The best!
