Babushka

The first Babushka I opened
Gifted me with a seed
It was hard for me to pretend
That of seeds I was in great need

The second Babushka that I pried
Gifted me an ear
In it’s heart I could confide
Without shame or fear

The third Babushka I cracked forth
Presented me a map
Advising me to travel north
In search of fairies, lusty trap

The Fourth Babushka began to cry
It made me cringe and shiver
I wished and hoped to ask her why
But her tongue cried out in gibbers

The Fifth Babushka knew too well
To even let me near
Her sisters I had cruelly felled
An insidious career
