Animal crackers dancing on the kitchen table
Like toddlers singing a tune learned in pre-school
The lions and elephants march through the world
To praise what great lives we have for every born and
girl.
Ironically we need to thank animated food
Characters because we just take what is good for granted
When our lives get filled with chanted grumbles and
crumbs.
Sweet is thy blade against your back
Bloodless no fear smiling yet gritting
Perhaps teeth-no-mustard bones
Making dust with river stones
Mead in your whiskey vile
Kneel on rice is your trial
Guiltless freedom is your attack.
