A drink of water
A pat on the head
Safely seeded
Into the soft bed
Safe in the darkness
Snug under covers
Soon to grow big like
Their fathers and mothers
Stretch and reaching
While they’re asleep
With miles to go and
Promises to keep
Then, sudden pulling
Uprooted from beds
Roughly skinned naked
And off with their heads
Sliced or dismembered
Sautéed or raw
Death yields nutrition
Food for us all
You are delightfully demented and talented!
