Look Who’s Laughing Now

Every day you hurt and teased me,

hit and laughed with all your might,

but the reason you do this is so you can be,

in the big, bright spotlight.

You threw all your food at me,

and shoved sand in my socks,

you slammed me with branches from a tree,

and pegged me with your rocks.

But when all the adults came,

you stopped with all your tricks,

instead you didn’t act the same,

and threw away your sticks.

But now it’s 10 years on,

and you live in a small flat,

and all my abusement is now gone,

your only company’s a cat.

I’m living in the world of fame,

because I followed my dreams,

and karma is a careful game,

and you lost, so it seems.
