stefan badham

put me in a bottle

put me in a bottle

toss me out to sea

burst me under your finger

like you might a blood-filled flea

bury me in the garden

water me every day

leave me to the worms

dry me with the hay

flush me down the toilet

stuff me in the bin

brick me up behind the wall

prick me with a pin

burn me with the rubbish

feed me to the mice

any end for me will do

though none of them seems nice
