Sawn in Two
by Simon MacCulloch
Hey presto!
Here’s her head Here’s her feet
This part blinks This part wiggles
This part smiles This part wiggles
This part speaks This part wiggles
This part waits This part wiggles
This part wonders This part wiggles
This part questions This part wiggles
This part shouts This part wiggles
This part pleads This part wiggles
This part weeps This part wiggles
This part stares This part wiggles
This part plots This part wiggles
This part cajoles This part wiggles
This part bargains This part wiggles
This part begs This part wiggles
This part curses This part wiggles
This part screams This part wiggles
This part spits This part wiggles
This part gnashes This part wiggles
This part thrashes This part wiggles
This part bleeds This part wiggles
This part howls This part wiggles
This part babbles This part wiggles
This part cackles This part wiggles
Which part do you think he kept?
