in a vibrant hopscotch
darning needle arms fling
feet pepper fine and tapered
steady and sharp like bee stings
it's time we send dem packing
bait slate boat race
flat manners, drift swift as the crow flies
and glide
man said
shriekers cyaa hide
boots and leathers unbalance
'if it wasn't for those meddling kin'
