A Boy’s Façade
Hullo Mum! I’m on my way!
I’m on my way to a brighter day.
But I’ve forgotten to take my umbrella.
Through winter rains and ugly lanes,
I’ve trudged through the muddy water.
You left your umbrella on the porch, dear one.
And luckily for you, I found it
Hanging there, on the window sill
Snagged on a hanger and grounded
The wind must’ve blown your clear sight, dear one.
And you staggered inside here because of it
Blundering and falling I had to catch you
But fortunately, my son, you were sighted
Now run along dear,
You’re façade cannot fool me
I know why you’re here
Now be gone, little one.
Hullo Mum! I’m heading on!
I’m heading on to a brighter dawn.
But I’ve forgotten to pack my bags.
Through uncrossed ways in a hazy daze.
I’ve passed through the vile, dark hills.
You’ve been mistaken. Wrong house, my dear,
And unfortunately for you, I’m no fool.
Bouncing along on an old grey cart
Your bags are all gone, removed.
The wind must’ve blown your good sense, dear one,
To think that I am still of affection
Conniving and gruesome your actions are ruthless
I’ve a mind to reverse my connection
Hullo Mum! I’ve brought you some!
I’ve brought you some o’ that affection.
Click.
Place your wrinkled hands above your head.
I’ve a mind to reverse this connection.
