They told us not to
Play with matches, but hated what
Toys we chose instead

'Don't play with matches'
They didn't like what happened
When we played with words

This is awesome! I like how you took almost a childlike view of something, and then turned into a very mature, open, and true statement without using too many words. Great job. :)
