Distraction Reaction

Why is it that children, who’re normally quiet
Will wait til you’ve guests before starting to riot?
Say “aye”, those in favor of this reform:
Shoo the youngsters to bed while the oldsters perform.

REVISION:
There is this about children
Who’re normally quiet–
They wait til you’ve guests
Before starting to riot.
