New Idea                                                          

 

Yum yum, yummy boy.

I’m not scared of you.

You funny boy, you silly,

you laugh-and-a-half, you.

Let’s dance together

writing rhythm in the air with our arms

Gunning to the beat

as it tickles and thumps

through the smoky lights.

Fun, fun, honey boy.

Let me peel off your skin,

climb up and wriggle-squish

inside your brain,

watch your thoughts bubble.

Let’s jump up and down together!

Soft smile, sweetie-boy.

No claws no teeth no spiky-boy.

Let’s have big hugs together.

Wanna have big hugs?
