On Possession

We need no green pea soup
to speak of possessions,
nor do we need a priest
or even holy water.
Merely our pens,
our pencils,
and our paper
to protect ourselves
from these fiends. 

No hard hat is needed
to understand what is mine
belongs to me!
Yes, that's right!
Me!  Me!  Me! 

What's yours need not be mined
- it may come from anywhere.
You're the owner of that
which is yours.
Yes, that's right!
You!  You!  You! 

Jack and Jill, he and she,
well, he and she have things too
His and hers, them and theirs.
They're getting theirs there
because yes, that's right!
They!  They!  They! 

Even it
has its things.
It's creepy and it's kooky
and some other copyrighted dookie
but yes, that's right!
It!  It!  It! 

Hours go by,
but what we own
is still ours.
Yes, that's right!
We!  We!  We! 

(All the way home!)
