  lived, they say, happily ever after,

  never bothered by diapers or dust,
  never arguing over the timing of an egg,
  never telling the same story twice.

  All the feet of the babies of the world were in them.
  All the crotches of the angels of the world were in them.
  All the morning kisses of Philadelphia were in them.

  the Nana-hex comes through.

  a sonnet turns into a dirty joke,
  a wind turns into a tracheotomy,
  a boat turns into a corpse.
