Creatures and humans they cast upon me an evil eye as I in the muddy river silently glide by-
they say I am nature's freak how they praise other creatures under the sky the birds, the fishes, the dogs and cats the grasshopper, the dragon-fly and the butterfly-
why am I singled out as the 'bad guy'? kids who dream of me at midnight they wake to cry-
my right to existence that to me all nature and mankind deny how I wish to have access to cyanide to end this sorrow and happily die.
* after Edward Lear, Hilaire Belloc and Ogden Nash
