The Ballad of Iron Scissors: Second Canto

II.

When she cut
The baby didn’t cry.
It screamed and swore.
Iron scissors,
Burning flesh.
Snip snip.

When she cut
She didn’t cry.
The baby burned and turned black.
Iron scissors,
Burning flesh.
Snip snip.

When she cut
The Fae laughed
And danced around the crib.
Iron scissors
Burning flesh
Snip snip.
