GINNY GREENTEETH


Water plays on the edge. 
Sand gravel and stone 
Splash and play dear ones 
Disturb my home. 

Skip your pebbles . 
Wet your toes. 
Let my icy reach. 
Creep along ripples. 

Come play with mine. 
Harold,  June,  David. 
Their hair my net; 
feathered wet. 

Look at you peer. 
Sun rays deceive. 
Cool water shall entice. 
My sordid vice. 

Eyes become milky. 
Teeth cracked gray. 
Chew my spit
Swallow  my grime. 

My stare will freeze. 
Only life I crave. 
Loved ones search. 
My wet grave. 

You believe my tale;
A myth for lad and lass. 
So they come to mock!   
Laugh and splash! 

Tell my story !  
Be my secret! 
FEED me! 
Mock me!
