On Education

     The crystal dog and gossamer cat
     Sat near the window sill
     And the child that came
     To school that day
     Declared they'd had their fill

     Of reading, writing, and arithmetic
     And subjects so arcane
     That should they be lost
     In a great abyss
     That heart would feel no pain.

     To see them lost forever
     Beneath a soggy, oozing mass
     Overgrown with briar and bramble,
     Tall trees and waving grass.
