have you ever been to the land of shlep?
they sleep with their heads and necks up high
and their eyes wide open
dont cross their territory
or they will capture you
and haul you as their prize
the shlep people has survived
on only the reliability
of game
they wait foe even hours
until a bright eyed girl
with words as soft as doves
wanders in her own room
she does not know she will be captured
but once she is
there is no backing out
for the shlep people will steal your heart
so you wont love anyone else
and they will take your hands
so they can warm them with their customs
be careful of the shlep people
because once you find them
you cant let go
