Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Come Up Here My Pretty

Come up here my pretty
And you will see 
The monster will not be the death of thee
I need some water and I need it now
Come up here my pretty
I will tell you how
Do not be afraid
The monster eats you up quick
I need that water.
This is not a trick
Bring it to me, you minion.
You pawn, you sacrifice.
I need that water, not once, but twice.
