How much does bread cost in your world?

It costs one thousand dollars in mine.

But just for a month-

after that bread costs a scream

But how much does a scream cost?

 

I’ve heard a scream costs an eye

for the peeping toms.

Next door it cost two ears and a toe

for the local self-proclaimed spy

who can’t spy anymore.

 

How much does bread cost in your world?

It costs one thousand dollars in mine.

But just for a month-

after that bread costs a scream

But how much does a scream cost?

 

Again,

Tell me.

Tell me again!

 

“Little mute lovely used her hands to steal that bread,

And was going to use her mouth to eat it.

The filthy beggar was getting more than she deserved,

But now she’ll get exactly what she needs.”
