Gallnut

Bite me not and beat me not, 0 hurt me not so hard, I'll gulp this gallnut of yours, 0 mummy, I'll gulp this gallnut of yours. I won't say it's bitter, I won't say it's sour, I'll gulp this gallnut, dear mummy, I'll hold this lit~~ phial for you. When the kitchen is silent, and the bedroom quiet, Then, you hag, your gallnut brew Becomes a stain on my tongue, A mole on my nose A curse in my mouth. My hands have grown long, my feet are swollen My ears shrivelled, my eyes dimmed, my cheeks blown. Beat me not and hit me not, 0 kick me not in the crotch. I'll gulp this gall nut, and when all the other ones - The green gall nut, The white gall nut, The red gall nut Form a brew that goes down my throat, 0 mummy, Bite me not and beat me not, 0 hurt me not so hard, I'll gulp this gallnut of yours. But when at last I'm filled with this gall, I'll put a little noose around your neck, 0 mummy dear, And when you are floored, piggy you, and look this way and that, Don't you ever come outdoors at all, - Or then I'll snatch away your rings and your bells.
