Declaration of Independence

“ Myself !” It means that you don’t care To have me lift you in your chair; That if I do, you’ll rage and tear.

“ Myself !” It means you don’t require Assistance from your willing sire In eating; ’twill but rouse your ire.

“ Myself !” It means when you are through That you don’t want your daddy to Unseat you, as he used to do.

Time was, and not so long ago, When you were carried to and fro And waited on, but now? No! No!
