the girl with carrots for fingers



the girl with carrots for fingers

had actual carrots for fingers

i met her one crunchy

candlemas eve

hiding in a wood

amidst the frosty old trees


the girl with carrots for fingers

oh how her carrot touch lingers

she escaped from a farm-lab

then lived on the run

a super-hush experiment

& potentially; weapon


yes the girl with carrots for fingers

don't worry - her hair wasn't ginger

we spoke of a future

her voice was a song

but come the yawn of morning-thing

that carrot girl had gone

...











 

please don’t call an ambulance


please don't call an ambulance

if you fall dead down the stairs

or decapitate yourself

whilst chopping carrots

clean off - nothing there

please don't call an ambulance

if you fatally drown in the shower

most accidents do happen at home

but certain things

are beyond their powers

...

follow-up to 'call the police'

how exiting
