Pitkin's Song

When I was five my brother stole my lollipop.

My lollipop stole he.

But I didn't mutter, "Damn you hide,"

He needed candy more than I'd,

So instead of biting off his hand,

I just said, "Goo! I understand!"

When I was ten my mother trounced me with a mop.

With a mop trounc-ed she me.

But I didn't mutter, "Damn your eyes,"

I knew she needed exercise,

So instead of joining a gypsy band,

I just said, "Mom, I understand."

At thirty a man in a car ruthlessly ran me down.

He ruthlessly down ran me.

But I didn't mutter, "Damn your spleen,"

For a man's a man, but a car's a machine.

So instead of stripping him of his land,

I just said, "Jack, I understand."

Now I'm forty-five and I've met Claire,

We're engaged to wed.

Engaged to wed are we.

But tonight I tell you, "Damn you, Claire,"

You played me evil and that's not fair!

So instead of remaining calm and bland,

I hereby do not understand!!!
