Prayer of the Selfish Child

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
And if I die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my toys to break.
So none of the other kids can use 'em . . . .
Amen.

Shel Silverstein

Yeah, see at first glance I thought "how odd" and then "that's kinda funny" followed closely by "how sad that we are truly that selfish?"
