The pig in some city movie
didn’t interest the little girl
like the wedding dress
on her friend’s skinny blonde doll did
As her friend watched a pig
Little girl peels off the dress
stuffs it down her overalls
and rubs the doll’s breasts,
whispering,
“One day, I will have this.”
She takes the wedding dress home
for her skinny brunette doll
a masterpiece to behold
White lace
pearl belt at the waist
glittery, ball gown shape
Smiles and a wedding ensued
“I do!”
Little girl spoke for a plastic bride and groom
throwing uncooked rice around her bedroom
showering her with guilt
“Wait… I stole this.”
She ran to the bathroom
hiding from upstairs doom
Someone was watching
She knew
The children’s bible warned her
about hellfire below
when you do foul deeds on Earth
Little girl dropped to her knees
praying, crying,
begging forgiveness,
“Please! I’m eight! I don’t want the fire fate!”
She cried and cried
Regrets for listening to her dark side
Upstairs must’ve forgiven
Her heavy heart quickly lightened
She got the wedding dress
lifts the toilet seat
flings the dress inside
flushing her forgiven sin away
Then she forgot.
Little girl felt better already
