Six humans trapped by happenstance
In black and bitter cold.

Their dying fire in need of logs;
The first man held his back.
For on the faces around the fire,
He noticed one was black.

Our shining loads to the temple fair...

For happy daughters and happy wives.

Oh yes, we know it keeps them still,
They don't climb out the window sill,
They never fight or kick or punch,
They leave you free to cook the lunch
And wash the dishes in the sink....
But did you ever stop to think,
To wonder just exactly what
This does to your beloved tot?

IT KILLS IMAGINATION DEAD!
IT CLOGS AND CLUTTERS UP THE MIND!

HIS POWERS OF THINKING RUST AND FREEZE!
