Earl King

Papa Beer and Mama Wine

And Roblox child at home

A screen per person

TV on, the parents on the phone

The child just chats with predators

The Dad replies to trolls

The Mom upset at rising debt

She seldom feels control

The schools are woke! The teachers too!

As Roblox fries their kids

I know my child, he‘s not like that

He pulled her by the skirt

When Goethe spoke of elven kings

The parents called it fake

But as they rode into the night

Their offspring died awake
