Uncorrected personality traits
That seem whimsical in a child
May prove to be ugly in
A fully grown adult
Lack of involvement with the father
Or over-involvement with the mother
Can result in lack of ability
To relate to sexual peers
And in homosexual leanings
Narcissism, transsexuality --
Girls from the waist up
Men from the waist down --
Attempts to be your own love object
Reconcile your parents to you
By becoming both at once
Even Marilyn Monroe was a man
But this tends to get over looked
By our mother-fixated
Overweight, sexist media
So, uncorrected personality traits
That seem whimsical in a child
May prove to be ugly in
A fully grown adult
If you give in to them
Every time they cry
They will become little tyrants
But they won't remember why
Then when they are thwarted
By people in later life
They will become psychotic
And they won't make an ideal husband or wife
The spoiled baby grows into
The escapist teenager who's
The adult alchoholic who's
The middle-aged suicide
Oi
So
Uncorrected personality traits
That seem whimsical in a child
May prove to be ugly in
A fully grown adult
