Piltdown Man

Dawson's piltdown man

Teeth assembled from that of an

Orangutan

Why would he do such a thing

Of course, what a stupid question

Outside our little tent

Your dog must have caught something

I followed you both

And then I screamed to be let in

Here comes your Dad annoyed, but wildly patient

Six AM so loud your mom had to kick us out

We ran the wheelbarrow around and around

Last night I dreamt your face changed through the doorway

As I pushed you panicking, agonizing, waking to admit

Moments raging, though so very small, like this

Outside our little tent

Your dog must have caught something

I followed you both

And then I screamed to be let in

Here comes your dad annoyed, but wildly patient

Six AM so loud your mom had to kick us out

We ran the wheelbarrow around and around

A template, if there is one

I still think of

A template, if there is one

I still think of

Outside our little tent

Your dog must have caught something

I followed you both

And then I screamed to be let in

Here comes your dad annoyed, but wildly patient

Six AM so loud your mom had to kick us out

We ran the wheelbarrow around

Think of the sound

In the afternoon you both fell asleep

Still knowing more than me
