The Cane
My enemy is in the bathroom
I locked him up there
He use to help mummy in flogging me
He is thin and brown
When I take something mummy asks me not to take
It shows up in mummy’s hand
It just disappears from the bathroom
Or gives birth to itself again and leaves the bathroom
He is stiff and dry
And he makes me cry and weep
But mummy sends him away sometimes
And tells me he’s good for me when I do wrong
