I split myself And claimed the other me Was you It was you that had those values Not I You were the one who was hungry for steak Me for rabbit soup Until one day I saw you eating A whole bowlful of honey That I became so hungry And ate the gold and silver Off the floor And reported Your outrage To everyone.
Irwin R. Shaw - January 8th 1983
I split myself
And claimed the other me
Was you
It was you that had those values
Not I
You were the one who was hungry for steak
Me for rabbit soup
Until one day I saw you eating
A whole bowlful of honey
That I became so hungry
And ate the gold and silver
Off the floor
And reported
Your outrage
To everyone.
