His head fell from his neck
As it was wont to do
It fell with a thud
Smashing to pieces
Our apothecaries fixed it
They replanted it
Forcefully on his neck
Soon, life came back to it
Our apothecaries rejoiced
They marveled at their ingenuity
They thought their work
Was quite novel
My clan's men
marveled too
At this creation
They thought he was
A head better than everyone
We must give him a position
For he must lead us
They reached an unanimous decision
Let's make him our caretaker
They said
Our caretaker he must be
And he became our care taker
To answer for us
Before the landlord
****************
Now he is our caretaker
He was a wonder to many initially
Many were enthralled by his novelty
But soon,
Our caretaker began to emit fire
It came in tiny sparks initially
Then later
As a hopeless conflagration
He fought with us tenants
For the most trivial disagreements
He prescribed Frog jumps
Tiger crawls
Horse skips
All for us weary humans
What are we going to do ?
