Power On The Home Front

It was slow developing, fiendishly planned,
And altogether unstoppable when executed.
We’ve dealt with their kind before,
But had never met with such subtlety.
Harmless little suggestions,
An occasional cute case of overreach,
Easily attributed to a mistaken belief  
We might be saved a possible inconvenience,
Or something far worse, like a frontal attack
By vicious people or killer animals.
It is sad, very sad that we have allowed
Our lives to be trashed by these upstarts.
To have a ten and thirteen-year–old
Take over our lives has been our ruination.
I offer this warning:
Never, never allow two yapping dogs to gain control.
