fear green irony

be careful
for the thing you desire will be what you get
a little green girl wanted fame
but later on she became a silloutte

the boy who could whip together yarn
grew up
used his talents and moved out west
he wanted to make the biggest sock in all mankind
he hasnt been heard of since
the aftermath it seems
left him suffocating in lint

and do you remember courtney
with the lashes oh so long and pretty
her hair she thought kept her young
until it gave way
this happening
it seems is such a pity

the doctors would say
so long
aurivoir
auf wiedersehen
adu
such a loss they thought
happenstance giving this fruitcake
to a girl such as you


you see our desires make us
tall
dark
troll like
godly
scuzy
and witty

we're all fenced in with doubt
not remembering a time
with no fence
no trolls
no scuzy
just a God
triumphant
over our take on our witty
