[hometext] => I have a Poet's Notebook that gives suggestions for poems. One of the suggestions was 'How would your parents react to your poems?' and I got the mental image of my mom freaking to show tunes. Tune of 'What's This?' from The Nightmare before Christmas
[bodytext] => What's this? What's this?
'Alone' 'A Secret' 'Broken'
It's so sad, so depressing
Is this how she feels?
And 'Gone,' who died?
And was it suicide?
I'm sure she hasn't tried
What's this?
There's 'Freedom In Death'
Or are those seperate titles?
I just cannot remember
*IS* it 'Freedom,' not 'Freed'?
So sad, that's bad
And what's this about cutting?
Does my baby have scars?
And why? Let's raise the bar!
What's this?
'I Am' and 'Lies'
Who lied? And was it gossip
That hurt my baby's feelings?
I hope she beat them up!
'I Am,' you're who?
The shadow always creeping?
The eyes that watch you sleeping?
What's this?... **record scratches**
'GIVE ME A MAN'!?!?!?!?!?!?
Note: 'Freedom In Death' is really 'Freed' and 'In Death.' Titles are purposely wrong
