By Sheryl O., Wollaston, MA

   We are not investments

We are not maids

We are not here for your amusement

Or as a vent for your anger



You can hurt us so easily

Without even thinking

We can't stand up to you

Your guilt trips or your abuse

So don't make us try



Don't expect the world from us

We'll try to deliver it

And you still won't be satisfied
