Bought flowers, yellow petals flaming orange,
toys & flowers set my mind afire, had to remove
two dolls and a fairy from crowded work space,
but these orange petals stand for desire
An anti-diminutives campaign wants signs of
childishness gone, thus I’m almost illegal,
but toys keep wonderment alive in my heart
so I refuse a more sophisticated icon
Cognoscenti decided cynicism is the sign of
emotional maturity, most accept conspiracy
as a realistic sound – I remain with Alice in
Wonderland and Le Petit Prince
And offer Mary Poppins’ teaspoons of sugar
to long-suffering colleagues listening to tunes
I’m humming in the office – Why does the sun
keep on shining? – my melody for today
