In-Betweeny
Strange thing,gingery and tall
Who rarely comes down when I call,
Whence came you?
Wild thing, pock-marked and verbose,
One minute happy, the next morose,
Whence came you?
Mother, I came to you, born in love
From a galaxy far above.
Through the ether from outer space
I came to join the human race.
I am that long-awaited child
At first well-loved but now reviled.
Large thing, untidy and uncouth
Who once was a friendly, happy youth,
What changed you?
Sad thing, lazy and music-mad
What happened to the boy I had.
What changed you?
Mother, you fed me and I grew tall
Nature dictates we can't stay small.
Years passed by and hormones flowed
Your little tadpole became a toad.
No longer sweet and meek and mild
Yet still, your long-awaited child.
Wanted child, sweet toad of mine
Forgive this mother of her crime.
In the grip of hormonal flux
Sometimes this existence sucks.
I can identify with you
I'm an in-betweeny too.
