I pricked my finger today
Completely unintentionally
Completely unavoidably
I found myself crying in a lilly pond and I asked,
what’s wrong sweetheart?
I told myself it hurts so much!! I could scream!!!
A little frog heard my cry
And he decapitated my fingertip with his soggy mouth
You’re hurting me!!! I said to the frog
He was only trying to help, or so I thought
He ran with my finger into the brush
And I heard the crunch of my nail snap like a dorito
He must have been hungry I said to myself, so I let him off this time
I sat with 9 fingers on the lilly bed
Which has now turned bright red
And I said
Momma nature wants me dead!!!!
As she held me in her gentle embrace, in the waters I shed
