Just a Taste

Here's a fix for you word addicts, you proseaholics, you shooters of fine literature. A sliver of a nugget from a story I've had in my wandering mind for a few years now. Recently unearthed on an archaeological dig into one of my external hard drives (hat, whip, the works). Enjoy!

“Be good be good,

Or they’ll whisk you away.

From the path you mustn’t stray.

Be good, my lad,

Or you’ll be had,

The ink’ed ones’ll come and take the bad.”
