My darling, often when you set and think / Of things that seem to kind of bother you, / You put your pencil in your mouth and chew / Around the wood, and let your sweet teeth sink / Down in it till it's all marked up and split, / And yesterday I seen you when you threw / A stub away that you'd bit up; it flew / Behind the bookcase, where I gobbled it.
I put it in my mouth, the way you'd done, / And I could feel the little holes you made -- / The places where your teeth sunk in -- I laid / My tongue tight up against them, every one, / And shut my eyes, and then you seemed to be / There with your lips on mine and kissin' me.
