MUMMY BOY
by:Tim Burton
"He wasn't soft & pink
with a fat little tummy;
he was hard & hollow,
a little boy mummy."
"Tell us, please, doctor,
the reason or cause,
why our bundle of joy
is just a bundle of gauze."
"My diagnosis," he said,
for better or worse,
is that your son is the result
of an old pharaoh's curse."
"That night they talked
of their son's odd condition-
they called him "a reject
from an archaeological expedition."
"They thought of some complex
scientific explanation,
but assumed it was simple
supernatural reincarnation."
"With the younger tots
he only played twice,
an ancient game of virgin sacrifice.
(But the kids ran away, saying, "You aren't very nice.")"
"Alone & rejected, mummy boy wept,
then went to the cabinet
where the snack food was kept."
"He wiped his wet sockets with his mummified sleeves,
& sat down to a bowl of sugar-frosted tanna leaves."
"One dark gloomy day,
from out of the fog,
appeared a little white mummy dog."
"For his newfound wrapped pet,
he did many things,
like building a dog house
a la Pyramid of kings."
"It was late in the day-
just before dark.
Mummy Boy took his dog
for a walk in the park."
"The park was empty
except for a squirrel,
& a birthday party for a Mexican girl."
"The boys & girls had all started to play,
but noticed that thing that looked like papier mache."
"Look, it's a pinata!"
said one of the boys,
"let's crack it open
& get the candy & toys."
"They took a baseball bat
& whacked open his head.
Mummy Boy fell to the ground;
he finally was dead."
"Inside of his head
were no candy or prizes,
just a few stray beetles
of various sizes."
