By Request: Happy for a Change

The Big Ear Hole

Debt, debt, so much debt...
When you started owing me?

Was it the time I coached you bowling?
Taking one big step forward at a time,
swinging those arms wildly in the air,
thrusting ball forward striking all 10 pins,
bringing shame to Allen's bowling skills.

Was it the time I bought you dinner?
Ranging from Indian cuisines to McDonald burgers,
selection of bubble teas to pipping hot lattes,
variety of yummy pastas to crunchy nachos,
assortments which dissapeared mysteriously into our bellies.

Was it the time I took you to the movies?
A shoulder to cry on when you're sad,
a firm thigh to squeeze on when you scared,
not to mention a human Coke and popcorn vending machine.

Was it the time you enrolled as my apprentice?
Teaching you the ways of the world,
educating you the lessons in life,
explaining the reason to open your heart once more.

Was it the long nights chatting online?
even when the clock strikes 3am,
and my mother screams from the living room,
stopping only for dinner and brushing teeth.

Debt, debt, so much debt...
When you're going to start paying me back?
