Geppetto: The puppet master
Oh poor Geppetto what ever happened to thee
locked in your mind without the right key
Longing for a crust of bread and a glass of wine
Now you're a square without a straight line
When I saw what you did I hoped you would choke
You replaced all you loved for a hunk of oak
So devilish and conniving just like a shrew
Yet you know not what it made you do
The money twas to get out of your rut
You decided to spent it on smut
you acted like a sheep covered in haze
But you knew of your hedonistic ways
I do not know whether twas love or greed
But that wooden boy will never replace your only seed
I do not wish vengeance for his stolen time
As you're now paying for all your crime
You yelled,”it was that boy not me”
For this reason you'll never be free
