Beware

My Pappa didn't want me.

My Momma -she had to,

Because she kept me with her,

Though she had things to do.



My cat, she didn't like me.

My dog, he was okay.

He really seemed to like me

When he wanted to play.



My brothers and my sisters,

They all left me alone

For they didn't want to be

The target of any stone.



'Cos I had quite a mean aim

And a good throwing arm,

So all those who crossed me came

To some sure kind of harm.



'Cos I had enough teasing

About my looks and size.

'Tweren't my fault that I was born

With an unmatched pair of eyes.



One eye is blue, one is brown.

It's quite a shock to see.

I turn it to advantage.

Beware. Beware of me.
