i like my ovaltine
hot or cold
it doesn't matter which
mommy, i want my minerals
and vitamins, not sure
how much of each, but
they're in there, and
it still tastes choco terrific
where's my spoon
how can i make my ovaltine
without a goddam spoon
mommy, hey mommy!
where's my spoon
not that spoon -
my special ovaltine spoon
that's not my spoon
that's his spoon
and me is not he
i thought you knew that
i thought you cared
bad mommy, i hate you now
i don't need you anymore
it's just me and my ovaltine
i'll be ok don't worry about me
anymore, don't worry about me
you don't love me

I don't know what ovaltine is. However, I can identify with the feeling of Mom not loving me. Enjoyed the narration.

it's a vitamin/mineral fortified milk additive - like quick or bosco - only better. comes in chocolate, malt, and chocolate malt. i recommend the chocolate malt.
