She Drew It With A Sharpie Poem by Josehf Murchison

She drew it with a Sharpie

I am sitting at the table about to have my tea.
When screams of horror reach my ears I jump and run to see.
My wife is in our daughter's room with shock upon her face.
Pointing at the wall she screams there's a penis in that space.

She's only six and on the wall there it is four feet tall.
Blue on white and in one place looking back a smiley face.
She drew it with a Sharpie what on earth am I to do,
I cannot wash the darn thing off, the sharpie's ink is blue.

My wife is screaming frantically, its smiling back at her.
Where did she see a penis and why did she give it fur?
Cover it right now she said your mother is due today.
I know that if she sees it she will surely pass away.

I'm worried about my daughter and don't know what to say.
I ask about the drawing just to see what she will say.
Why did you hide my picture of the puppy on the wall?
He is cute and small and cuddly and likes to play with balls.
