Some strange children by Tim Burton

The voodoo girl


Her skin is white cloth,


and she 's all sewn apart


and she has many colored pins


sticking out of her heart.



she has a beautifull set


of hypno disk eyes,


the ones that she uses


to hypnotize guys.



She has many different zombies


who are deeply in her trance.


She even has a zombie


who was originally from France.



But she knows she has


a curse on her,


a curse she cannot win.


for if someone gets


too close to her,


the pins sticks farther in.

The girl with many eyes







One day in the park


I had quiet a surprise.


I met girl who had many eyes.



She was really quiet pretty


(and also quite shocking!)


and I notice she had a mouth


so we ended up talking.



We talked about flowers,


and her poetry classes,


and the problems she would have


if she ever wore glasses.



It's great to know a girl


who has so many eyes,


but you really get wet


when she breaks down and cries.

Roy, the toxic boy

To these of us who know him

-his friends- we called him Roy.

To others he was known

as that terrible boy.

he loved ammonia and asbestos,

and lots of cigarettes smoke.

What he breathed in for air

would make most people choke.

The one and only time

I ever saw the toxic boy cry,

was when some sodium chloric

got into his eye.

he 'd stand inside the garage

in the early- morning frost,

waiting for the car to start

and fill him with exhaust.

One day for fresh air

they put him in the garden.

His face went deathly pale

and his body began to harden.

The final gasp of his short life

was sickly with despair,

Whoever thought that you could die

from breathing outdoor air?

As Roy 's soul left his body

we all said a silent prayer.

It drifted up to heaven and left

a hole in the ozon layer.
