Lampooning E.E. Cummings

by David Knape

I carry you
I carry you hard
I carry you
inside my heart

despite my love
I'm getting tired
on top of that
my elbow's scarred

I carry you
inside my heart
but you've gained weight
and I'm getting tired

should have set you down
from the very start
but you can't put a horse
inside a cart.

(it's scary to some
but I carry your heart with me)

*Based on e.e. Cummings "I Carry Your Heart With me"
