A.D.D.

Mommy what does hyper mean?

Teacher says I'll never read

She says I need to take a pill

So I can learn to sit real still

The microwaves did something to our brains

We need to take these pills to help us change

Please let me take them I don't want to be an idiot

Ritalin will make me smart

At least that's what my teacher said

All the other kids take them, I think I am the only one

I need something to slow me down

I talk too much cuz I am dumb

Mommy what's a deficit?

I think it means that I can't sit

Disorder of attention

And I don't learn the lesson

Mommy please help me see the light

Don't you know my teacher's always right?

Joey's starting on week 4

He's not in trouble any more

Susie's ending up week 9

Now she's never out of line

Please let me take them I don't want to be an idiot

Now Mommy takes my Ritalin

There's not enough for me she said

All the other moms take them, I think it's not just mine

I don't know if she's smarter now

But at least she's feeling fine
