Cretin

Tooth and Claw

Cretin


There was a bitter woman with a farm near the woods 
She kidnapped babies-raised them crazy-robbed their childhood 
Penned in chicken coups like filthy animals 
The woman kept her feral kids in a human kennel 

Children running around 
Chasing birds like geeks 
Growling, howling, carrying on 
They never learned to speak 

The children's' brains were wrong but still they had to try 
Escape had always stumped them-the fence was very high 
A monkey-boy who liked to climb scaled it just in time 
The feral kids were punished for his daring crime 

Naked in the woods 
Monkey-boy was scared 
The feral kids cheered him on 
He wished that he was there

Mom lit firecrackers, frightening them to tears 
Accidentally dropped the lighter-angry pack drew near 
Biting her near death, they breathed their first free breath 
Then fled into the wild, no longer human pets
