When I Was a Baby

When I was baby I looked like a pig my nose a snout and my ears were too big My mother would poke at the hole at the back of my head where my brain was exposed I didn't know it then but never again would recapture those wonderful days When I was a baby I fell down a well I landed deep down in the furnace of hell The devil would rock me to sleep with stories of cities of ivory and gold It took a long, long time before I could escape from that terrible hole When I was a baby I lived in a crib I crawled on floors and ate with a bib But then I was taken away and was sold to the circus for trinkets and beads Now I lie awake at night and dream about what I would do if I was ever set free
