She sends two men
To search for treasure
On the beaches of Miami
Where men are known to bury
Their precious metals
These two men worship her
Because she is Little Mae
Sorceress of Nature
And maker of play doh castles
A milk mustaches means they've failed
A toy train sitting on the counter
Means they've pleased her
She is not easily pleased
She will not smile
She once ate the heart of a parakeet
Whose owner forgot to pick her up
At daycare
The two men find no treasure
They have failed Little Mae
She will not express her disappointment
Rather, she will invite them for tea
With her stuffed cat Pono
The gun lays hidden in Pono's stomach
And it will take out the first man
When the second man runs for the door
Little Mae will take the knife from under her Dora pillow
And propel it straight at the back of his head
She never misses
She is Little Mae
And next time
She will choose her fools
More carefully
