Nursery Rhymes

A baby's foot --
Five piggies' delight.
See how even toe-jam
Invites the mind to recall
Childhood nuggets
Like the "Three Blind Mice,"
Or the Hague, the League,
And the UN.

See how they run,
Trying to step around
The bodies
Of everybody slain,
Croaking like frogs,
Waiting for the farmer's wife
To cut off their tails
With a butcher's knife.
