Dearly Beloved we are gathered here today "wait" maybe not to day sadly to say we've been grounded until further notice did any of you when you were kids get punished for something you didn't do sure we have many times especially if we have siblings and not the only child I'm the oldest one those born first know my syndrome we know nothing about home alone though we did have the best of the others hand-me-downs we knew nothing of privacy on every door was no vacancy we had to get along while fighting to live with the hand we were dealt often saving the others from the belt we took and wore those welts we learned to cook read the little ones books it's so much weight to carrying laundry to and fro tired of waking up to another sis or bro more burden to bear in times to come and by the time it's time to go we realize engraved appreciation plaques aren't given to servant's of broken single parent homes "that's what's wrong"
