/// Long before Maisie ever was born,
“Nature” worship was treated with scorn.
Now some pre-Christian cults
attract coarse-grained adults,
whose odd children are called “of the corn.”
/// So, although Maisie seems very nice,
and enticing, please take my advice:
If she asks you to plan
to attend “Burning Man,”
avoid wicker to ‘scape sacrifice!
