“Who are you?”
I ask you,
“To tell me who I am?”
You clap your hands when I do right,
You frown when I do wrong.
To put it plain for you to know,
I stick up my nose at them
Who say nice things
When I am near
And laugh when I am gone.
I’m just as tough as any boy,
I’m just as sweet as honey
I wear clean clothes
When I want to,
I’m smart, and kind, and funny.
“That’s not enough”
You say to me,
“You must be more and more!”
I close my ears, and turn my head,
Oh, most of you are dummies!
