Spoiled
SPOILED
They have given her all her wishes,
All her wants catered to by the doting parents
Aided and abetted by the doting grandma
And a coterie of accomplices from the brigade of aunts.
No need to wait for for xmas or birthday for that special dress,
No need to build up the excitement of a trip to the circus,
No need to dream :
They have spoiled her youth.
They have in fact already stolen all her dreams.
