As aiding scratchers turn claws
And pride’s stunted growth cures
Hands for the domestic are rebelling
The joke now turns the jokers into jokes
Ei! Time is driving them in
In, into the kitchen!
II
Now strength does no work
Beauty reigns as it breaks strength into pieces
Fire turned ice!
They are being driven into the barn
In, into the kitchen their created!
III
Fishers nets taken by eaters
What rights would you use to boast like fishers?
You have no nets
You watch as the eaters work
What will you do?
You will have to go in
In, into the kitchen!
IV
Beautiful clothings
Long eyelashes
Claws of tigresses
Talking buttocks
If beautifully painted mouth shouts IN!
What will you do?
In you’ll go
Into the kitchen!
