Baroness Munchausen
licking the lips,
of cool,
retentive disorders
laid back in deckchairs
sat around the campfire
with baroness munchausen
telling their stories
a child,
in full battledress
leaps from the bushes
the ones that stretch across the shore
an adult with the correct years
distracts themselves with daily chores
baroness munchausen tells the story
and tells of their fear
licking the lips,
of a sweet sentence
bonny, and full of favour
sipping expensive lemonade
baroness munchausen continues to talk
and tell their stories
