Childproofing A Poem
To childproof a poem
read the tiny directions
take out all the bad words
take out all the blood & guts
take out any praise of our past
take out any offensive material
take out any hidden meaning
now set the poem nicely on a high shelf
and screw down the child-proof cap
you should be set to go
your poem is now sanitized and
ready for consumption
but like any child-proof item
the poem will not open
unless you align
Warning: Do Not Ingest
on an empty stomach.
