Sarah HudsonPierce - To Be First!

I am so selfish!
I want to be first in line!
I push and I shove—
I grab and I take—
Because I want to be first!
I want to be Number One!
I want to be the Pet!
A spoiled child l am—
If I can't be first
Then just count me out!
I will get brownie points—
I will!
I will stand on my head—
And I'll do somersaults—
Anything to get your attention!
You see, I want to be first!
I'm spoiled and I'm rotten—
Not so good as you might think!
All I want is to be first in line!
I am a pig—I have to have more
Than my share!
I am not 'Goody-Two-Shoes' who
Always washes her hands!
I'm a brat and I know it—
But I do want to be firstIn line—
With my apple
All shined and ready to hand
To my favorite teacher—
To my favorite friend!
If I can’t be first in line
Sit me in a corner and
There I'll pout!
