The cord is so interesting

they tell me no

but look at it, all black and low

its plugged in the wall

it must be safe

I desperately need to play

I’ll bite it a bit

and pull it out

they’ll scream and shout

my parents are so weird

they think its dangerous

I don’t understand the fuss

I just want to touch

So intriguing

why do they care

if I’m shocked out of my underwear?

It isn’t like

they’ve never touched it

they plugged it in

and then adjusted it

I just want the freedom

to figure out

what all the concern is about

maybe if I try

when they aren’t looking

oh wait they caught me

better book it.
