Everyone is all gone now
I’ve made certain of that
People are forgiving too
But I’m a particular brat
Cloven hooves often lose
I scan, scrimp and cheat
Never satisfied with you
I stomp and cry and bleat
I can’t even please myself
Fair weather friendly deceit
Angrily returned to the shelf
Love’s sweet breast is tough
God forbid I should find fault
Mother’s milk is never enough
Life’s lessons assaulted me
It is none of my business
What people do or seem to see
To what they say I only witness
Not guessing what they think
This thing that I am learning is:
I’m successful without a drink
