White Girl Lullaby
December 7, 2014
Hush little white girl don't tweet a word
Daddy's gonna buy you the Twitter bird
And if that Twitter bird don't follow you
Daddy's gonna buy you the Tumblr site too
Hush little white girl don't you cry
Daddy's gonna buy you a pumpkin spice
And if that coffee don't have a mug
Daddy's gonna buy you a pair of uggs
Hush little white girl don't be sick
Daddy's gonna buy you an iPhone Six
And if that iPhone Six does bend
He'll buy more stuff and spend, spend, spend

My favorite version of this is Eminem's Mockingbird, but this will be my second.
I hope that by reading this poem, people will understand that it is not the child's fault. That, even though a child will grow up to be mean and shallow, the parents are to blame for teaching their child to be that way. If parents give their child everything they want instead of putting their foot down it will ultimately result in ruining the child's life.
