Hello, Little Girl

Look at that flesh, pink and plump

Hello, little girl

Tender and fresh, not one lump

Hello, little girl

This one's especially lush

Delicious

Hello, little girl, what's your rush?

You're missing all the flowers

The sun won't set for hours

Take your time

Mother said, "Straight ahead," not to delay or be misled

But slow, little girl, hark and hush

The birds are singing sweetly

You'll miss the birds completely

You're traveling so fleetly

Grandmother first, then Miss Plump

What a delectable couple

Utter perfection, one brittle, one supple

One moment, my dear

Mother said, "Come what may, follow the path and never stray"

Just so, little girl, any path

So many worth exploring

Just one would be so boring

And look what you're ignoring

Think of those crisp, aging bones

Then something fresh on the palate

Think of that scrumptious carnality, twice in one day

There's no possible way

To describe what you feel

When you're talking to your meal

Mother said not to stray, still, I suppose, a small delay

Granny might like a fresh bouquet

Goodbye, Mr. Wolf

Goodbye, little girl

And hello
