'I Did Too! ' Poem by Linda Winchell

I started to talk about my day
and you said, 'I Did Too! '
Why is it every time I speak
you have to say' I did that too? '

I told you that I had a cold
you said, 'I do too! '
I told you about the bargain I got
then you said, that's funny, 'I got one better than you'

I told you that I lost a pound
you said, 'I did too! ', but two!
I told you where I ate for lunch
and you said, ' that's crazy, 'I just ate there too! '

I do this and you do that!
But it always seems to be much better, or the same!
Why is it you have to copy me?
like in some, 'I do too, ' kinda game?

I told you that my hair had changed
that I'd cut it, and colored too!
And guess what, you my dear came back with?
You'll never guess what, 'I just changed mine too! '

I can't seem to get away from you
no matter how hard I've tried too!
You will always do me just one better!
because you've possibly
even tried to, 'Do that too! '
