Situation, Normal...

It's as true as true can get,
truth will set you right.
I descend from a long line of idiots,
In my grandchild, the trend persists.

I school him because to send him back
to Public School, Ghetto 101,
may be the nail that seals his fate.
He might wind up in jail, an inmate's bitch.

I strive to teach him the advantages of being law-abiding.
For idiots in particular, the best option is to be law-abiding.
I know of what I speak, for I too am an idiot,
one who most of the time manages to pass for reasonable.

My secret - be still and observe the action all about.
Obey the rules of traffic and of common courtesy.
