Original Text
The Poetry of Lucy Maud Montgomery, ed. John Ferns and Kevin McCabe (Markham: Fitzhenry and Whiteside, 1987): 152. PS 8525 O68A6 Robarts Library.
1I feel
2Very much
3Like taking
4Its unholy perpetrators
5By the hair
6Of their heads
7(If they have any hair)
8And dragging them around
9A few times,
10And then cutting them
11Into small, irregular pieces
12And burying them
13In the depths of the blue sea.
14They are without form
15And void,/ Or at least
16The stuff they/ produce
17Is./ They are too lazy
18To hunt up rhymes;
19And that
20Is all
21That is the matter with them.
