Wicked Air Currents - Busted Babies
My cradle’s hoisted high aloft,
Atop the nearest oak.
Placed there by my sister,
It was meant to be a joke.
Then barometric changes caused
My tiny bed to sway;
And molecules at odds within
The branch began to fray.
The bed and I just dangled,
Like in cartoons, in the blue;
‘til gravity remembered that
It had a job to do.
My limbs, and the tree’s, began
To see a lot of action;
Knowing that the crib and I
Would both wind up in traction.
Who the hell thought this kind of stuff would comfort a child and help put them to sleep?
great new lullaby for those who do not know English!

I don't get it.

Probably the same persons who thought that the "spin" that politicians put on most everything would be believable to adults.

Unfortunately, those people were at least partially correct. Perhaps that encouraged them.

*lol* My mother always used to complain about that song. She was convinced that it's why half the population grows up to need therapy.

She's probably right. But that still leaves a lot of questions about the other half.

New fodder for discussion with my shrink. At least Mom and Dad are off the hook, to a degree — it isn't really THEY who messed me up, so much as the songs they sang to me.

If they never sang "Pat Malone" it likely saved you a couple of years on the couch.

Catchy little poem, but somehow I can't get the tune to fit. Not that I ever could carry a tune.....much less hoist a cradle into a tree.

Sorry for the late response, Ms. Zola. I haven't spent much time here, lately. I'm hoping to be back in gear soon.
And you're right, the tune doesn't fit. I should have one of them altered.

I'm flattered, Gwen. I am not in the habit of doing such things, but if I think I can do the site justice, I'll certainly give it a try. I'll check it out as soon as I get a chance.
Thanks. And thanks for visiting!
