Herr Drosselmeyer's Doll
2
There she is on the stage
3
Spinning as she sprawls
4
Thank God the curtains fall
5
Her spring is sprung
6
And dances done
7
Spinning as she sprawls
8
Thank God the curtains fall
9
In the morning, he twists the key quite hard
10
And ticking, she's brought to boil
11
"RelevΓΖΒ©, my sweet, en pointe, en garde!"
12
Her innards twang as they uncoil
13
Herr Doktor's fingertips trace by
14
On craquelature from every fall
15
The daylight made to race right by
16
With paint and paste and stitch and awl
17
"Patient, patient, bumblebee,
18
Soon your audience admire
19
A shapely arabesque or three
20
I'll wind you up, you'll never tire."
21
Starry tutu, sullen moon
22
A frozen carmine mouth
23
Twinkles as she jerks and swoons
24
The ladies ushered out
25
"Gentlemen, this fallen angel is the illegitimate daughter of art and science. A modern marvel of engineering, clockworks elevated to the very natural process which even now is in your blood, racing, your eyes flashing at such irreproachable beauty. Here is Gaia, here is Eve, here is Lilith, and I stand before you as her father. Sprung fully-formed from my brow, dewy and sweet; she can be yours and yours again, for her flesh is the incorruptible pale to be excused from the wages of sin."
26
(winds her up)
27
And as the sack cloth, sodden, slumps
28
Beneath these chipped and china limbs
29
The sour flesh pines, grunts and thumps
30
"Step right up, boys, tuppence for a spin!"
