Children Should Be Seen Not Heard

(c) 1994 Lacey of Prism Collective (aka Kaitlyn C. Weathersby)

			Sit there pretty as can be
			Sit there nice so all can see
			Your just a trophy on the wall
			But be careful someday you'll fall

			Sit there quite, hush not a sound
			Sit there still don't look around
			Your just a trophy on the sill
			Shhhh you must sit very still

			Here I sit, quite as can be
			Praying you'll look inside for Me
			Hush that crying deep inside
			Holding the anger I must hide
