There was story was about
A child whose parents
Made YouTube videos
Claiming the child was
‘Suicidal from birth’
Because the child
Was born with the umbilical
Cord around her neck, almost
Out of breath and blue,
Then fell out of the cradle,
Got into the dishwashing
Got into the dishwashing
Liquid, the dog’s do-do,
The medicine cabinet,
The power-points,
Ate dirt and mud and sand,
Ran onto the road,
Jumped out of a window,
Cut herself with glass,
Swallowed razor blades,
Crawled under an elephant,
Opened the car door,
While the vehicle was going,
And generally caused
Life-threatening havoc
That left her almost dead.
That left her almost dead.
The parents questioned
Why the child was wanting
To kill herself so often
And the doctors said take
Such and such and such
So you don’t get stressed
And give her such and such
Or you’ll have to be cruel
And put her in a sand bag
So she can’t act upon her
Suicidal disease instincts
She inherited from you.
They took the drugs
And their baby took the drugs
And everything was peachy
After that, well, sort of better
Than it was, the parents said,
Thanks to the wondrous drugs.
This story was told again
And again many times
And was very popular
Moral tale for parents,
For a while, during the early
Millennium, but then
They were all druggies
Back then, in those days.
Weird, weird the times
