Collected Poems of Richard Griffin
Is the stove hot? Oh, yes, the stove is hot. The Mother—what is she doing? She is holding the child on the red-hot stove. Hear the child scream. The child does not like to sit on the red-hot stove. The Mother do'nt care, she likes to hear the child scream. The child has been naughty. The child must be punished. Hence, this result. The Mother has a keen sense of justice.
