Once, when I was a little boy,
I sat me down to cry,
Because my little brother had
The biggest piece of pie.
They said I was a naughty boy,
But I have since seen men
Behave themselves as foolishly
As I behaved then.
For we are often thankless for
Rich blessings when we sigh,
To think some lucky neighbour has
A "bigger piece" of pie.
