I don’t mind your F-bombs,
In fact, I kinda like ‘em.
I just want my autonomy back,
And I don’t know where that came from.
Is she hiding inside your closet?
I’ll tell ya a secret: I don’t wanna hold onto
An institution, in which, I have been stolen from;
I just want a refund.
Oh—how did I become “the needy”;
Maybe you would know?
I am going by so little;
I had just wanted you to know.
“Papa, I’m a millionaire”,
Did the one-hit-wonder go through it, too?

All I had to say, was:
“You’re just like my father.” To, which,
They’d retort—“Oh, NO, we’re not like that”.
But that was only after some research, into, which,
Came the retort.
I, once, wrote, **** THIS”
On a test.
But it was a trick, to which,
Showed the historical tests
For aliens to come into the US.
So, teachers, teachers, everywhere,
Remember the girl who wrote **** THIS” on a test.
