Arms and Legs - Bruce V. Bracken's All-Purpose Poetry Thing

Song Lyric

I grow(?)to resent my heroes
Just ask my brother
He'd withdraw from a body bank
Had he his druthers
The arms and legs he had to pay

(chorus)

I'll eat you out of heart and soul
Then chuck it in the soiling bowl
I'll curse your name from pole to pole
For tenderness as for a foal

I grew long fangs, hollow with spite
To bite my father's
Hand that fed my bulimic heart
Biled on his bother
Arms and legs for gnashing teeth paid

(repeat chorus)
