Stout Stick (Other) by Enki
Paper bag, paper bag, on my head. In the closet, in the closet, lock me in the shed. Manacles, manacles, round my feet. Hit me in the head, that would be real sweet.

Up the ladder: Love
Down the ladder: Taller Girl

2 complaints.
1st i don't think you need to add a second "in the closet" in the first verse.
2nd the last line of the second verse is absolutely pathetic

On the first complaint. I've edited the poem so that breaks are more obvious in the way it's meant to be read. So perhaps that will clarify why there is a second "in the closet".
So now the poem has 4 verses instead of two, the first three following the same style the last being different to the other three. Can't comment on your second complaint as you don't explain your gripe with it. The last line is however meant to break with the rest of the poem.

Not to those who have spent time locked in sheds.

Maybe i can clarify the symbolism of the closet? it's a profound metaphor the like of which no one can imagine a place that holds boogie men, skeletons, and apparently homosexuals. and also the ever rare pre teen pot s,oker durin an intermission while watching rambo two search for sp-ock, i meant the wrath of slahng. i meant tattoo and fantasy island, but not ricardo monteban selling me an oldsmobile, see.
