Our TV’s on ‘round the clock.
It’s needed for noise
and it’s good (?) for the boy.
Now really, is that such a crock?
Hickory Dickory Dock,
some TV’s good, so don’t mock.
But, it’s language is heard,
it’s action is seen
by little ears and eyes, oh so keen.
Hickory Dickory Dock,
there’s action, adventure, non-stop!
The movie at nine
put guns in his mind
and his nap-time is filled with strange scenes!
Hickory Dickory Dock,
I’m not there at eleven o’clock.
I can’t monitor, gee!
I’m too busy, you see.
On my door he knows not to knock.
Hickory Dickory Dock,
he ate not his meal, he made slop!
He wants burgers and fries
and character candy besides.
I guess I will just have to shop.
Hickory Dickory Dock,
He wants to make weapons with blocks.
He said, over lunch,
“Your face I will punch
and at your house I will throw a rock”
Hickory Dickory Dock,
he’s kicked out of daycare - I’m shocked!
But he tore the work page,
he punched and he raged.
His behavior, I’m told, it must stop.
Hickory Dickory Dock,
I need him in school, I’m so stuck!
But I’m told, “his influence
Is just a “‘ruinance’”
to the peace that they need, “so good luck!”
*********
Hickory Dickory Dock,
Now the programs with him I take stock.
I monitor, sure,
good behavior restore
to my son. I’ll love and won’t stop.
Hickory Dickory Dock,
not just TV in my plot.
We read ’Geographic, Highlights...,
and scholastics.
Mathematics is given a shot.
Hickory Dickory Dock,
at school he now is top-notch!
But still we take time,
to polish and shine
the character we don’t want to botch.
Hickory Dickory Dock,
time has flown, as it does, without stop.
My little son’s grown,
but I’m never alone.
Grand mom’s love is sought by the “flock”!
Hickory Dickory Dock,
I’m so glad there was time on the clock.
My son has become
such a wonderful one.
He’s a blessing, dear Lord, thank you lots!

young parents can hear! I would give attention to the it's/its. I think in the second stanza, you meant to use "its" Great message.
Thank you!
(and I did mean "its", not "it's" in stanza two. Thank you!
