Singing in public,
dancing, or worse, holding hands.
What a spectacle!
Failing too fast

Age before beauty.
Truly, my goal at all times is to make my children uncomfortable with how odd I am. I remember being totally embarrassed by my own father and what he would do in public. It's nice to know I got more from him that dark hair, hairy arms and the family "sweat."

Hi Patios, your poem was a surprise but even more so your goal.
Thank you for reading mine, it is a true saga of my eyesite experiences (not a joke).
..
Whaddya mean the 'real poets'?
I loved your earthy one--and embarrassing our children is something we can get really accomplished at. Why not exploit our talents?
Thanks for visiting the Virtual Tea House and your comment--glad you liked the YouTube...

Funny and wonderful!
I don't have to make an effort to prove I'm weird. It comes naturally. lol Thanks for the read.
Being embarrassing....it's all we can do sometimes!
I enjoyed both very much. What spirit.
..spirited humor..many thanks..
Fantastic! And you are the type of mom that the kids will love you for when they are older. I bet their friends love to be around you too.
Hilarious! Keep passing that humor and the embarrassing behavior along to future generations!! (And thanks for your comment)
Oh P.
(1) Girl, you're hott. That's that.
(2) I subscribe to that same thought.
(3) Damn you're funny.
LOVE it! My kids feel the same way about me sometimes. OK, a lot. Let's just say I like to be silly sometimes. In public. Dancing gets me the evil eye and the "Mom! Stop!" thru gritted teeth.
Nice poem. Even from a non-poet. I embarrass my kids by singing karaoke. OK, well, maybe I also embarrass myself a bit...actually I think everyone in the room is embarrassed for me too.
HA! I always knew that parents just LOVED to embarrass their children (revenge from their own ordeal, I suppose).
Fun hailkus.
Oh, the self conscious embarrassment of youth!! What a spectacle! True, so true.
Thanks for this dose of humor!
