Wither! by S.J. TylerI say wither
Whether you want to or not
Shrivel at the spot
Stare at me
Like (because) Im crazy
While I tell you
Youve become a pruney rose
Not pruned (your thorns are dried and gnarly
But still capable of drawing blood)
But pruney, old hag!
Wither!
You did so without me telling you to
Why stand you so defiantly now?
You dont want to because I say so
Youre hungry
Have some food
No
Fine then, starve. 10/22/2003 Author's Note: Yeah, pruney's not a word. please give me some poetic license there. I was singing Wither by Matt Caplan in my head all through statistics today and this came out. not the same wither he talks about but there it is.
