Pair-a-dox

There is a little boy knocking

‘pon the fence enclosed garden.

“Let in”, was such implore

to what stalwart warden—

guarding rows of verdant plumes,

yet complacent to the escaping

flowery fumes.

 

There is a pain-skinned man

‘pon the fence enclosed garden.

“I shall break in through yonder burl!”

Bit he with tongue full maddened.

Shaking all life curled underneath,

trembling the roses praying for teeth.
