“The Parenting Sonnet

Anybody can make a baby, that's no glory,
To raise a true being, that's a glorious thing.
It takes less than a minute to make a baby,
But more than a decade to make a being.
So if you choose to have baby someday,
Focus on their character, not just sustenance.
And make sure to keep luxury away from them,
For luxury is curse for character development.
Pass on the tradition of compassion to them,
Be a living example of the possibility of humanity.
Teach them the belief of nondiscrimination,
Demonstrate to them a never-before seen sanity.
Be the person you want the kids to grow up to be.
The best kind of parenting is that of exemplarity.”

“No stories are entirely imaginary, cherub, he'd said then. Everything is always a little bit real. Sometimes you steal things from other stories and change them until they work how you like.”
