My son's walls sport pictures of tombs,
my daughter's have sickly pink 'shrooms,
Zephuros and faeries;
so, parents, be wary:
Don't let kids decorate their own rooms!

A parcel of cookies! how scrummy!
They sped to his greedy, fat tummy.
But the glazing was laced
with arsenic paste;
when you're rich, you can't even trust mummy.

ㅤ utter your paeans
to a moon indifferent
chill and distant

when a candle
pricks through the cloak of night
no need of plasters
