Their children’s response? Often scorn:

An old woman who'd filed for divorce
From a golfer, who talked himself hoarse,
Watched her longwinded spouse
Rant and endlessly grouse,
Then replied, "This is par for the course."

A young fellow who hungered for power
Almost always looked angry; He'd glower
And he'd rage, then just stare,
But when met with a glare,
He (a delicate flower) would cower.
