Just Who Do You Think I Am

I was a very BAD chick-a-dee so mom grounded me for life Clipped my wings; now I can’t fly (I buried my head in shame) Can't keep both feet on the ground but man, just watch me RUN 50-60 MPH top end speed I can REALLY fly (well, ALMOST) Still pack one hell of a punch (It’s all in the legs you know) Ruffle my feathers? Guess what I’ll do? Kick your ASS til you lay a fat egg...

I love this one! Especially the first stanza...being grounded for life, that's bad. I got threatened with that a few times in my youth.
