This is the hieroglyphics set
I bought in third grade
From a Scholastic catalog
With twenty dollars I took
From my mother's wallet
Without her permission.
This is the hieroglyphics set
That came in the mail
To my teacher at school
That I snuck back home
And opened in the living room
When my mother wasn't home.
This is the hieroglyphics set
That my mother caught me with
In the living room
When she came home early.
This is the hieroglyphics set
That got me into a world of trouble
And taught me never to steal
And taught me never to lie
And taught me never to incur
The wrath of a mother
If I could help it.
This is the hieroglyphics set
That my mother let me keep.
I have no idea why.
