Put your house in order<br />

By Jacqueline Wetherill<br />

How can you tell me how to raise my pickney,<br />

When every fete out, hello, you gone and spree?<br />

Put your house in order.<br />

You and your daughter wear the same clothes;<br />

As you bend down, everything is being exposed!<br />

Put your house in order.<br />

Mother and young daughter at the same fete;<br />

Daughter asking mother if she’s ready to go home yet.<br />

Put your house in order<br />

From the expletives, to drinking rum and drinking beer,<br />

I guess you think you’re young, and believe that you are the same age.<br />

Put your house in order.<br />

Well, train her to be promiscuous too,<br />

And every child will have a different father, then blame who?<br />

Put your house in order.<br />

You might be looking good for your age,<br />

And posting your sexy pictures on your Face book page.<br />

Put your house in order.<br />

I will enjoy my life by you calling me “Old Granny”;<br />

I will stay at home and be the best to my pickney.<br />

One thing I will never do, is to jump up and whine with my kids,<br />

Hang out and drink liquor, just to hear them say “I have a cool mother”!<br />

Mothers, be careful the way you display to your daughters;<br />

What might look cool to them now will be sour grapes later.<br />

Respect yourselves, value your daughters, and put your houses in order.
