The Tism Nightsoil Cart And Horse Blues

Children soften their parents’ hardened features;
Students busy buying presents for their teachers;
Wives cuddle husbands, and playfully tease ‘em;
Poets write lyrics, some of which please ‘em;
A stone fells bird, only manages to stun her;
Spring’s allowed to stay around for Summer;
Casting doubts away, it’s time to find
A gentle, literate woman, fuck her from behind.
