Imaginary Gardens With Real Toads--d'Verse Poets Pub
Don't want to be no baby again
Don't want to be a cranky little
poop factory
lettin' poor ol' mom & dad
hear about it at all times
of the day and night
what a healthy set of lungs!
Keepin' the diaper makers
rollin' in dough while I'm
rollin' in my own...
OH
don't want to think about it
I will have none of this
do you hear me?
HEY
quit scrubbin' my little thingy
all the time
ain't a person got any privacy
in this joint?
Then later in my high chair
picking up my bowl of oatmeal
and dumping it over my head
And going back to school
OH PLEASE
not SCHOOL again
I already know how to read and write
damn you
just can't seem to remember how that works now
but can't you see I'm a poet
by that wild and desperate look in my eye?
just give me the benefit of the doubt
"Teach"
OH NO
get those math problems away from me!
I can put two and two
together
and I know what you're up to
gonna make me a productive
member of society
observing all the rules
fitting in
and going with the flow
just to be like all the rest
who don't want to know
OH
Jesus
don't want to be no baby
again
baby
but the wheel turns
round and round
so probably gonna be
yeah
probably gonna be
Shit
