It is sharp in my hand,
The piece of skull my ax had so carefully carved from her head,
The pinkie finger he lent my steak knife reflected the dim light of the fireplace.
The smooth rib bones they had so had so graciously surrendered to my cleaver were joined together with silken red ribbon.
Beautiful blond garland was the finishing touch-
So glorious to open the box from the attic! Oh how I love to decorate the tree!
