Once Upon a Time

once upon a time I had four legs I Walked on fours like Garfield my cat there was a time I carried a lavatory tucked gently between my thighs there wasn't any need to move a muscle I had milk kept within my reach and the calabashes never dried out at that time I was self-centered I only thought of my own feelings loudly I expressed my wishes to be granted like a kingly decree At that time I was a noble even though my family wasn't royal working never crossed my mind it was an alien word I had left behind and my life was a terrain of fun fair All this fame and glory drifted with time have lost the art of walking on fours not unless I want to be called a mad man I have to work to attain any glory to make decisions without hurting those around for I am a fully gown maggot

Wow... reminiscent of some family members who expect a free ride and then finally realize it's time to wake up and get a life... still pondering some of the lines, especially the last one :)
