The Scarlet White-Hearted Little Queenie, Miss Elson
The Scarlet White-Hearted Little Queenie, Miss Elson
She wears red hearts
and shakes knuckles at us
the chair is too high
too flat
too hard
(and she can barely fit in)
We arrived on a whim
and now we're stuck baking
feeding
her enormous behind
No Ma'am
Yes Ma'am
It's rhubarb
we all say
and we long
we long for the road
Poison poison
in her pie
we whistle
we whistle and we hum
