Wonderful Me

Me, oh wonderful me.
I've done so much worth extolling this month,
though I suppose nobody's bothered to stop and see,
so I'll just have to tell you.

I rescued a cat from a tree, a dog from his shower.
I shared- SHARED, for the love of all things holy-
my toys with my sister.
Well, a "thanks" would be nice, or even "good job!"
But all I got was a measly "Gimme!"

"How unfair!" you say? I agree!
And thus I must write this.

Now, what else have I done?
No shortage of heroic deeds this month.
I have cleaned my room and the house-
both without being asked.
I helped that little old lady who lives across the street.
I carried her groceries, watched her pets,
read her a book, and cooked her a meal.

I bought groceries for our house, packed them away,
and nobody noticed, so I've included that here.
I coached Brother's soccer practice, and then...
Yes, there's more!
I then went and taught Sister's ballet class.
I helped Dad fix the grill, and did the dishes for Mom.
Cousin Mike's car broke down so I lent him my bike.

And to think I've done so much
when the month isn't even over yet!

But you know, that's not all.
I walked the dog,
and we played fetch with his ball.
I chaperoned a school field trip to the zoo-
aren't I great?

I do wonder what I will do next.
I hope that tomorrow, I'll get to save the world!
THAT, someone ought to notice.... right?!
