Stifle Thy Children! (Unpub)

Admonish all thy anklebiters!
Bridle thy bambinos!
Chaperone thy cherubs!
Dominate thy dwarfarinos!
     Educate thy elvervolker!
Fetter fast thy fidgets!
Ground thy gamins! Guard thy gremlins!
Govern all thy gidgets!
     Hog tie all thy half-pints, then
indenture thy infantae!
Jail thy junior jackanapes!
Kibosh thy kiddies, kan’t ye…?
     Lock up – or down – or in -- thy lambkins!
Muzzle up thy moppets!
Nail thy Nips! O’ersee thy offspring!
Playpen – please – thy poppets!
     Quell thy quints! Rein in thy rugrats!
Silence – sh-h-h-hush! -- thy sucklings!
Tailor-tune thy tadpoles
(lest they turn out ugly ducklings)!
     Unfree thy urchins – urgently!
Thy varmints…? Vit! Vamoose!
Wind down thy whippersnappers –
else each “whipper will” run loose.
     Xenoblast thy xiphomorphs! 
Indeed, yoke all thy young!
Fin’lly…ziplock all thy zysters!
If you do, my rhyme I’ll bung.
