MY BROTHER WATCHES OVER ME

I am flattered to matter so much that 
you intend to keep your eyes on me. 
Even when I am home you want to see
how all fares with my activities.
Such a preponderance of concern 
is truly something I haven’t earned.

If being violated, observed, is 
mandatory, I’d prefer to have a 
Big Sister watching my female self 
in every room of the house.
Will I be viewed in my car, the one
place I may freely sing off tune?
If so, I expect no criticisms,
hitting the mute will have to do.

I’d have to give up so very much,
like scratching where it itches,
picking my nose in a fierce dig,
wearing hobo or very little clothes,
and eating food that just hit the floor.

How do I know I won’t be taped, 
my parts cropped for pervert art?
If the honey, I should get some money.
I have to say I am mighty boring.
Sister or brother should take care,
put a kotex on their forehead to
reduce soreness when snoring
heads slam down hard on their desk.

Who will watch the watcher of me?
Oh, I know, our shared Big Father will
see your sincere gaze aiding me.

Thanks for introducing me to the words "preponderance" and "kotex". I found the first one in the dictionary and see that it means a greater number or incidence of something, but I can't find kotex. Do, if you like, enlighten me on what it means! Otherwise, I love the line "picking my nose in a fierce dig"!

You'll laugh after I reveal the meaning of Kotex: it's a female hygiene pad used monthly. It will cushion their head slam on the desk from boredom. CayCay

Oh. I really like this . It has lots of funny lines. I think fairs should be fares. Sure hope you get a win. Big brother may or may not be watching you. For sure they are listening!!

Haha, good one. If big brother is watching me, he must be getting pretty bored, too.
