1. Something tells me
When I want to do something good,
Like finishing my homework,
Something seems to tell me,
To do it later than now instead!
When I want to do something nice,
Like bake a cake for my brother,
Something seems to tell me,
To put some pepper in it instead!
When I want to do something sweet,
Like pay a visit to my grandma,
Something seems to tell me,
To rush to my best friend’s house instead!
When I want to do something noble,
Like write a letter to the President on world peace,
Something seems to tell me,
To wage war on my neighbor’s dog (and the cat) instead!
When I want to do something honest,
Like own up to the fact that I had lied,
Something seems to tell me,
To just chuck it all up and lie some more instead!
When I want to write a nice little poem,
Like one that makes you feel all good (and wins contests),
Something seems to tell me,
To write one about things that make you go ugh instead!
