Tantrum time

I threw a tantrum yesterday
It always helps me get my way
I pick my spot I pick my time
To start my ugly tantrum time

Last week my parents orderd me to bed
But I prefured TV instead
So I broke things arround around the house,Until they turned on Mickey Mouse

I hold my breth 'til I'm blue
My folks just don't know what to do
And when I yell and start to shake
They rush to get me chocolate cake

Mondays I don't go to school
I act as stubborn as a mule
I kick and punch and pout and blow
Until it is to late to go

My dad says I'm such as brat
I really can't agree with that
My mental health is reall fine
GEE WHIZ I'M ONLY 29!!!
