Leading by example
Ephesians 6:4 New English Translation (NET Bible)
4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but raise them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Leading by example ... satire
You do this and you do that
I told what you should be doing.
For goodness sake, I know what’s best
what does it take to prove it?
Don’t you tell me what to do
and don’t question my motives.
I am your father don’t you know?
I’ve been all through this.
If I don’t do what I tell you too
what does that really matter?
You say actions speak louder than words
that is just useless chatter.
If you listen to what I say
and forget about what I’m doing.
You’re going to be just like me
is that not worth the “knowing”?
