[JG] It’s not the way you pick your teeth at picnics.
It’s not the gum you leave beneath your seat.
It’s not your squirting rings or boring card tricks.
It’s not that when we play croquet, you cheat.
It’s not the centipede you gave to mother.
It’s not the time you filled my socks with glue.
It’s you. It’s you. It’s you.
It’s not the squid you gave me for my birthday.
It’s not the time you sold my only shoes.
It’s not the trash you threw around on Earth Day.
It’s not that when I talk, you start to snooze.
It’s not the TV you flushed down the toilet.
It’s not the mouse you threw into the stew.
It’s you. It’s you. It’s you.
