Wake up little one
If you don’t come
Then I’ll take the baby.
Be quiet, lie still
Papa has work for you
The nighttime is when I pick
The freshest of fruit
Busted cherries bleed red
Stains the teeth
Stains the sheets
Block the ringing pain
It’s Thanksgiving again
The turkey’s huge
Dessert is you.
You are invited...
