I have a little boy who
Goes in the store with me,
All he does is ask for
Everything that he can see.
He looks up high –
He looks down low,
With devilish excitement,
His eyes begin to glow.
He remembers a commercial –
‘Twas on T.V.
Then he starts to work on me.
“Mommy, Mommy, buy me this?
It’s the one thing you did miss.
I’ll eat my breakfast – every bite!
It’ll help me treat my toys right.
Just this one – Oh, Mommy, Please!”
I feel that tugging at my knees.
When the tuggings touch my heart,
That’s when a fool and her money part,
For the sponsors know full well,
It’s to the little ones they sell.
