E for Issues.
Daddy,
Why can't I have
That big, blue stuffed toy -
The TV-man said it'd bring me joy.
Son,
That's Cookie Monster you're wanting
But I hate to tell you,
He has no educational value.
The way he munches
Without a heed
For cholesterol or calories,
Is blatantly greed.
But Daddy,
You're wrong
He teaches the alphabet
C is for Cookie, you can't deny that.
Son,
I'd much rather you fancy the Count
At least he's good with numbers
You'll learn a great amount.
Daddy,
The Count is purple
And has ugly hair -
Not altogether a very fashionable affair.
Son,
Nobody will care
About the colour of your skin
Once you get up, race and win.
Daddy Daddy,
How about Ernie?
He wears a nice shirt
And comes with a duckie.
