by Anne Gerard
You seduced our kidnappers and I was furious
With itself like a true feeling
Clearly the song will have to wait
Sunlight making petals obsolete absolutely so
Your best flirtations fall before an audience
Of blueberries, marigolds and children
The desire meant to hover between
How to get a sufficient response from a hill
When Daisy changed her name to Matilda
Getting all bothered by the plans
Thank goodness somebody is ready to be prolific
Anyways come back to the converted study
Where we built that semi-removable door
Our landlady left us chocolates
