Mommy says I can’t have a cookie before dinner

But I want it

Mommy doesn’t let me play video games until I’ve finished my homework

But I want it

I remember when I was younger, the rules seem to be non existent

Now, there’s a never ending list of things I CAN’T DO

All I want is to do what I please

Maybe I’ll run away and join the circus

Or at least that’s what Mommy says when she’s upset

I don’t even know if I’ve ever been to the circus

What would my job be?

I’m terrified of clowns

And I’m afraid of large animals

I’ve never been one to juggle

But I do love games

Perhaps I would be the game master

And the bearer of prizes

I would make everyone a winner

Even if you didn’t win the stuffed animal

I would give the players something

Perhaps a cookie

Now I’m hungry again

Mommy says I can’t have a cookie before dinner

But I’m doing it anyways.
