Don’t hit me in the head
Watch out for the glass
What a pity about the dog
Big boys don’t cry

Stop biting at my knees
Stay away from the garden
That smile has fangs
Little boys do cry

Toss the shoe more gently
We need not make a scene
Lift me up on my feet
I surrender
next time
I’ll let you lose

i can't explain why i like this piece so much. the images and wording are rather odd. but there's something that speaks to me. perhaps it's the matter-of-fact tone with such disturbing images. almost like a reprimand from your mother.

It was one of my more obscure pieces and the only one that I knew who liked it , was myself and now thiers you, which makes two. I like your taste it's weirdly strange in a nice darkly sense.

It was meant as a dark kind of reprimand to a foolish friend. I thankk you for your kind review.

Warmest regards,
Bob
