I have many of these, but here&#039;s a main one:<br /> &quot;Animals our not ours to eat, wear or torture, they help us and our environment, and we need to take care of their environment and give them love in return&quot;

"Mommy can I get that?"
"Honey, stop your chit-chat!"
"Daddy can I get this?"
"You'll have to wait 'till Christmas"
"But why?" I ask
"Why do you ask so much? Because I said so!"
"I ask because you never listen and just go straight to no!"
"Well stop asking so much, I've had enough"
"I'll stop asking once you actually listen -_-"

I bet that a billion kids could relate to this poem, and a billion adults as well! We always ask and ask and ask and usually, we recieve a mindless answer (usually no, just to get it over with) or a maybe, which ends up a no. I wrote this poem a long time ago, and I memorized it, luckily because our old computer that I wrote it on crashed, so the end of it wasn't the original words, it's just the substitute words I just made up because I can't remember the other one's lol, so....ENJOY!!!
