Owning

You had the Bible,

So I listened...

*

You had cartoons,

So I laughed...

*

You had Dr. Seuss,

So I learned...

*

You had Choose Your Own Adventure,

So I flew...

*

You had Shakespeare,

So I lived...

*

You had Monty Python,

So I turned...

*

You had rap,

So I rhymed...

*

You had Mad Magazine,

So I sneered...

*

You had videogames,

So I played...

*

You had money,

So I counted...

*

You had plans,

So I saved...

*

You had love,

So I took...

*

You had pets,

So I smiled...

*

You had instruments,

So I studied...

*

You had paper,

So I had my pen...

*

You have this poem,

So I stop.
