Please Sir, I Want Some More

Don’t cry or pout, Little Oliver.
There will be more, 
There’s always more, 
So don’t be afraid to step up and ask. 
All he can say is no.

Oh yes, he can gasp and bark and snap 
At your audacious question, 
Shocked by your nerve, 
But it could be worth it if, 
In the end, 
Some kind-hearted soul takes 
You under his wing.

Though you may be orphaned, 
No family in sight, 
You need not be lonely 
Or even alone. 
Your future is now 
If only you want it. 
Ask if you dare. 
It will come to you.
