Worn Out Welcome

You come around all the time
you beg and plead, cheat and steal
oh please and thank yous abound
until you get what you want
then you're off.

Never do we see you again
until you're in need
your face only shows
when your pharmacy runs low
your customers are children
you think you've done no wrong
yet around you come again
wanting more.
I have none left to give
you've worn out your welcome.
