b-t-c burrowing in consequences

you can pity a little boy

in the slings and throws

of a snit turned tantrum

you can pity a bloated clown

writhing under the weight

of his own antics

but unless you are helping him

grow into manhood, you had better

make sure he is somewhere

where he can do no harm

—poor Bluffo
