The Animating Games
What’s your name?
Puddin-Tane.
Where do you live?
Down the lane.
What’s your number?
Cucumber!
Rhymes increasingly surreal
hold off terror a time.
So, a breathless result!
But in KICK THE CAN
one might
send it chattering infinitely
down an endless hill,
and really hide thus
from murdering adults.
