The Apple Does Not Fall Far From the Tree

Whispers surrounding every inch of her reckless body, She hands the gumdrop to a stranger, The gumdrop learns to walk and talk, The gumdrop slowly potty trains, The gumdrop goes to kindergarten, The gumdrop falls on her head. The gumdrop joins a soccer team, Soon the gumdrop quits, The gumdrop is a woman now, The gumdrop graduates freely, The gumdrop starts to go crazy, Seeing splotches in her soup, Talking to the statues, The only friends of hers. She meets a man and falls in 'love', She expects her own gumdrop, She breaks down. Whispers surrounding every inch of her reckless body, She hands the gumdrop to a stranger.
