Some kids are really pretty smart for their age

They are able to eat alone, sleep alone and rage
Only when confronted with another who plays games
And then tries to take away their toys and trains

And then they go crying to their mother and pout
For the older kids are playing with them about
Past games they did enjoy so much until surrounded
With nasty children who tormented them and hounded

Rather than finding their own toys and making games
So they could busy themselves without making lame
And stupid remarks which were so hateful and crazy
Rather than doing their own thing 'cause they're lazy
