“Irresponsible”

Norman had to mow the lawn

until he cut the cord.

“You must be more responsible!”

was what his father roared.

Then Norman had to pull some weeds;

ten minutes felt like hours.

“You must be more responsible,”

said Mom, “You’ve pulled the flowers!”

Norman’s irresponsible,

but this fact makes him smirk.

His irresponsibility

saves him a lot of work.
