I have many of these, but here's a main one:
"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"

"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 -_-"

The author's comments:
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!!!
