EAR-SEWER

Weren't you warned as a child
about all those lies you told:

the ear-sewer, that dragonfly,
will sew up your mouth, including

nose and ears, and if your lies
are large enough, go right through

your head and lo and behold, you'd
be in such a bad way they'd have

to bury you in the lovely meadow
where dragonflies are born.
