and of these things we cannot bear
a little box
you open
take a peek
and try to hush
but it goes squeak
and wakes the dog
and worse the cat
who dreamt of nibbling
on a rat
a midnight snack's
required all round
another day
another pound

< instructions >
and of these things we cannot bear
who strain to raise their sleepy heads
we face them with all we hold dear
and gently lay them in their beds
not you
not I
the perfect god
but living in the human skin
won't spoil the child to spare the rod
compassion
quells
the war within

Sorry,the brain doesn't always follow instructions.
