Daddy Doesn'T Know
D’you enjoy the rhyme-
the name game o’ my soul
as it dances, childishly
in the crazy rain?
D’you hear the call-
the craving
o’ my word, as it cries out loud
across the road?
D’you feel the touch-
the lonely tears
o’ a poem as it runs down the night
wanting to be dried, by you?
If-
all these concern you,
why haven’t
you return the thousand rings I made?
Come, O come home soon
dearest mommy o’ mine
‘cos Daddy doesn’t know-
how to sing sweet lullabies o’ thine!
