Gripe and Groan

Thank-you so much
for all you never did
I was a grown-up
while you acted a kid
You’re a selfish brat
so self-absorbed
I gave you all I had
but you still wanted more
Nothing could ever please you
The world was not enough
I could give you God’s own thrown
and you would still find a way
to gripe and groan
