He Beats Me With Sticks

That is the title of this song, written by my friend Leslie. It's funnier to hear her sing it, but the lyrics hold up well as they stand on the page. It has sort of an ancient folk-song feel, perhaps medieval by way of the Society for Creative Anachronism:

He goes into the forest deep

I sit I wonder and I weep

He's looking for sticks

He's looking for sticks for to beat me with

I sit I worry and I pray

He searches all the livelong day

He's looking for sticks

He's looking for sticks

Long Round and Thick

He beats me with sticks

He beats me with sticks

with sticks with sticks with sticks.
