XXVI: Good Creatures Do You Love Your Lives

Good creatures, do you love your lives
 And have you ears for sense?
Here is a knife like other knives,
 That cost me eighteen pence.
 
I need but stick it in my heart
 And down will come the sky,
And earth’s foundations will depart
 And all you folk will die.
Enjoyed this read? Treat us to a coffee!.
Your help allows us to exist.
