Maybe So.
(Written fot a contest. Literal nonsense)
What sleeps in the daylight but afraid of the dark?
Yes, no. Yes, no.
What has wings but never moves?
Yes. No. Maybe so.
Run and catch. Run and catch.
Don't get caught in the blackberry patch.
Run and hide. Run and hide.
Feel the blood run from the thorn in your side.
Yes no. Yes? No. Yes/no. Maybe so.
Whose afraid of the big bad wolf?
The runner, jumper, howler, screamer.
Yes. Yes. Yes. No. Yes no. Maybe so.
The system contains, the fountain overflows.
But the waters are poisoned,and the streets made of dirt.
And only the innocents are spared of the hurt.
Too bad they've all gone to lunch,
You'll have no one to save yours from the flood.
Yes? No. Yes. No? Maybe so. Maybe so.
Whose that hiding in closets?
The man who wears the pretty clothes,
To hide his ugly face.
Shattered, broken, telling lies.
Yes. No. Yes. No. Yes. No.
Maybe so.
Who is under the baby's bed?
Only the monsters you put in his head.
Button button, who's got the button?
The woman in the dressing gown?
Yes no yes no yes no?
Maybe so.
