The Sick Child Plots his Revenge

 

 

Can you see my face at the window?

I am watching you, all of you

So busy building your snowmen.

 

Tonight I will sneak outside with a

Baseball bat and knock them over.

Then I will brush away my footprints.

No one will know it was me.

 

Everyone is so dumb – no one knows

I have developed supernatural powers.

I can hear my mom when she goes into

The bathroom to cry.  Even with the

Water running.

 

I am a creature of the night like Batman.

I will swoop up and down the street knocking

Everything over that is in my way.  Then

Everyone will know how strong I really am.

 

Maybe tonight I can make it rain.  Then all

 the snow will turn to slush.  And all the

stupid snowmen will melt and  float away

down  into the sewer.
