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! You'd rather fall and break your head, Or fill your lap with cream and bread Than be helped up or down, or fed. Well, kid, I hope you'll stay that way And that there'll never come a day When you're without the strength to say, "MYSELF!"
