child assault

 
 
join the good-
godly mob, Joe …
 
my preacher
father
 
did try,
alas!
 
to erase
 
the child
in me,
 
too …
 
he did fail
with that child
 
then;
 
you surely
won’t succeed
 
now …
 
but do
not,
 
I pray,
dear Joe,
 
engage
in fret:
 
when I
post verse
 
or take
a walk,
 
I will not
resort to
 
baby talk
 
on this here
internet …
 
(sorry ‘bout
my synco-
 
pated rhyme …
 
though I
got it in,
 
I think—
 
and just
  in time)
