PAPER ROUTE
THE WINONA DAILY NEWS NEEDED BOYS TO SIGN UP FOR THERE OWN PAPER ROUTE:
I HEADED HOME TO TELL MY FOLKS ABOUT:
TO MY GREAT DISSAPPOINTMENT MOM SHE SAID NO:
FOR A THIRTEEN YEAR OLD BOY I LOST ALL JOY BECAUSE I COULDN'T GO:
I WAS SO MOTIVATED TO MAKE MY OWN MONEY HAD PLANS TO BE RICH:
BUT MY MOM SAID NO BECAUSE THERE WAS JUST ONE GLITCH:
SHE SAID AFTER A WEEK OR MAYBE TWO:
YOU WILL GET TIERD TOO:
MOM SAID YOU WILL GET TIERD OF WAKING UP SO EARLY EVERY SINGLE DAY:
I REMEMBER EVERY WORD SHE DID SAY:
I REALIZED SHE WAS PROBABLY RIGHT:
BUT I COULDN'T GIVE UP WITHOUT A FIGHT:
SO WE NEGOTIATED FOR AN ALLOWANCE I WOULD GET EVERY WEEK FOR CHORES:
AROUND THE HOUSE FOR THINGS SHE TOLD ME TO DO:
MY DREAM OF GETTING RICH DELIVERING PAPERS WAS THROUGH:
I WAS HAPPY TO SLEEP IN LATE:
BECAUSE GETTING UP EARLY MOM KNEW THAT I HATE:
