Selfishness
Two cakes has Clarence, and Carrie has none,
Isn’t that too bad? She ought to have one.
Oh selfish Clarence, say what shall we do?
Both cakes I think should be taken from you.
How would you like it, if Carrie should take
Both of them from you, and leave you no cake?
How would you like it if mama should say,
Carrie shall have all the cookies to-day?
Be generous babies, ’tis better by far,
There’s so much more love for you, dears, when you are,
You want to be loved, don’t you, darlings? Well then,
Don’t grow up to be selfish women and men.
