I Made a Meme this Morning

I made a meme this morning.

I posted it online.

I asked my mom’s permission.

She said that it was fine.

Then people started sharing it.

The next thing that I knew,

my meme had spread around the world.

It grew, and grew, and grew!

By lunch my meme went viral.

It had a billion views.

By dinnertime the TV had it

on the evening news.

I earned a penny, maybe two,

from every single share,

and, by the time I went to bed,

I was a millionaire.

I thought of making one more meme

that might go even higher.

But, nah, I’m nearly nine years old.

I think I’ll just retire.
