Cane - 1. Cane
Cane
I wanted
a lick of sugar,
but
daddy said I'd been naughty.
good girls
refrain from direct sun-
light
and speak when spoken to,
Never eat
until they're full
or
play with the boys all alone.
but daddy
got the lessons wrong
he
picked a sugar cane too sweet
and
the lessons got me all wrong
too sweet, and
it never fills me up.
