MASTERPIECE #3644
/// Five young Orphan Girls Peeling Potatoes.
Each, her “job” to her parentless state owes.
The pay cannot be beat—
all the peels they can eat.
(The girls dream about cheese and tomatoes.)
/// The authorities dress every tyke
in a uniform, each one alike.
Yet the girls in this place
also share the same face.
One Don Juan caused a local “birth spike.”
/// The potatoes they peel by the hour
will be dried and ground up into flour.
Though it tastes pretty awful,
they will make Belgian Waffle
mix which hard-working girls can devour.
