Impudence and Impedance

 

 

Impudence and Impedance:

Both can be shocking,

Don’t ever mix-up the two, though,

You’d leave people rocking.

 

 

 

Rocking with laughter, I mean,

At your ignorance

Not knowing how to use the two

At that particular instance. 

 

You’d find both in the classroom

As well as in the church

And if either ever get out of hand,

You may need an expert.

 

 

 

They are in the home too

And can give an unwelcome sound,

And in either case exercise caution

When children are around.

 

A child may be reprimanded

Because of his impudence,

That teacher is well within his right

To deal with insolence.

 

Teachers are strictly forbidden

To administer corporal punishment

So, children sometimes get away

With the occasional impudence.

 

However, impedance is different

And not nearly as forgiving,

For an impudent, hard-ears child,

It could be quite shocking.

 

 

The body conducts electricity

Whether direct or alternating,

With the former we may not feel it

But the latter can be shocking.

 

And so, it is very important,

To ensure safeguards are in place

Especially when children are present

In any electrical space.

 

Impudence is childish behavior

While the amount of current is impedance,

Both can be shocking, don’t forget,

And are oppose to resistance.

 

 

Both create lines in the face

While one travels along lines

But don’t mix up the two, I caution you,

At any given time.
