Father,
I’ve been so good
I deserve a reward
Father
I beg you
Don’t be untoward
To the request that
I must now make.
Father,
Please will you buy me a fidget spinner?
I promise to eat all my carrots at dinner
I promise to do this that and the other
I promise to stop beating up my wee brother
“I don’t know Timmy,
Go ask your mother”
Mother,
I’ve been so good
I deserve a reward
Mother
I beg you
Don’t be untoward
To the request that
I must now make.
Mother,
Please will you buy me a fidget spinner?
“Ugh, Timmy, fuck off”
