honey bee — [K] (v)
imagine a childhood sling
the kind you weren’t allowed
the size to sling a house
so many four year olds
lost mummy and daddy
playing with their sling
they weren’t annoyed
or angry or silly
playing with their sling
one moment of mummy’s inattention
and who knows where she and the house
and daddy could be
its worse when a four year old
flings the sling doesn’t click
slings the neighbours’ houses too
one poor child
so loved to play
he slung his entire town away
and that’s why
nowadays
slings are banned
and that’s why
nowadays
modern towns are so horrible
no playful child has slung the horrible houses away
while mummy was distracted
by her family’s horrible fate
mummies
daddies
dogs & cats
live in horrible houses
for slings are banned
so baby can’t sling the horrid away
