Here's a little bit of twisted poetry.  I'll blame this on Tom Lehrer (the musician). ;)  And, no, I'm not into sado-masochism!

Say That You Care
Glenn A. McGrew II
1984?

Stuff my mouth with flypaper,
put bamboo splints under my nails,
set my hair on fire;
but say that you care.

Put bees in my pants,
step (with spiked heels) on my toes,
scratch out my eyes;
but say that you care.

Beat me,
mistreat me,
hurt me,
never set me free.

But darling:
always say that you care!
(Or ELSE!)
