Sylvia Plath: The little known works.

For [livejournal.com profile] weasels_of_fire


I am a little.
Teapot.
Short, and stout.

Here is, my handle.
Here is, my spout.

When I get all steamed up,
Then.
I shout.

Tip me over.

Pour me out.


Discuss, with particular attention to the suicidal and sexual subtext of the final two lines.

Oh shit shit shit. My brain's been like absolute jelly all week, and I've completely forgotten about pork, and now I'm on my way to a Eurovision gathering. If I had remembered earlier, I would have emailed you for a raincheck. Shit. I've very sorry. I'm an absolute scrubber.

Scrubber :)
We'll cope. More pork for the rest of us!

Allow me to apologize more profusely (without the pork in my belly to make it super-profuse) by sharing this pain with you...

And as an aside, I advise you slap spark_au's arse with a wet towel after he eats your pork as a territorial hierarchical "Just so you know who cooks the pork in this house, bitch!" gesture.
