Corsair

Corsair

Reindeer games and heart-shaped candy,
Tricks, not treats, tikes namby-pamby
Sugar and spice, everything nice,
Children are cruel;
That is my advice.

Cherry surprise waiting inside,
Promised you dreams, instead he lied,
Snips and snails and puppy dog tails,
Children are cruel,
Tragic'ly pale.

Pizza bones and some cabernet,
Will make the nightmares go away,
Unless, of course, you have forgot,
People are cruel,
To those distraught.

So, gild your children's claws and spines,
Brandish wrath, judgment divine,
Thence villian's bones scattered astray,
Became you cruel,
At last, that day.
