All Mine

I had a great childhood
Got everything I wanted
My brothers’ toys
My sisters’ toys
With two magic words
“It’s mine!”
“It’s mine!”
“It’s mine!”
The world belongs to me
Everything belongs to me
“It’s mine!”
Until one day
I spied a 100 dollar bill
“It’s mine!”
“It’s mine!”
You can’t have this, son
“It’s mine!”
Listen to your father, dear
“It’s mine!”
“It’s mine!”
Now, son
“It’s mine!”
“It’s mine!”
“It’s mine!”
SLAP!!
“Okay, it’s not mine.”
