look at little katie kat
creepy as can be
potting each and every plant
down on her knees
look at little garden girl
trying to be free
she's trying oh so very hard
not to wallow in misery
.
icky little flower child
don't have any friends
icky little green thumbed girl
hides around the bend
.
now look at creepy katie kat
trying not to cry
don't sympathize for the girl who's fat
and skin is much to dry
.
stubborn little dirt girl
go jump off zeus' fist
bossy child, hated one
just a tally mark on the list
.
so imperfect little flower girl
show us how much you care
katie gardner, flower pot
don't you even dare.
.
there goes little lonely child
slitting up her wrists
there goes creepy staring girl
trying not to miss
.

i chose katie gardner because while the fandom has taken her character as one of cheer and Stoll hatred, a 2-dimensional girl who always ends up happy, i wanted to play off the haunting side, the could have been, would have been, side, where maybe the stoll's pranks were a little too harsh, and maybe the teasing taunts weren't all that, instead cutting remarks. i wanted something realistic for the demeter girl, and this just clicked.
so here's to katie gardner; someone extraordinary who still has our mundane problems.
