certainly the children have seen them
|
in quiet places where the moss grows green
|
|
coloured shells jangle together
|
the wind is cold the year is old the trees whisper together
|
and bend in the wind they lean
|
|
next week a monkey is coming to stay
|
|
if I was a witches hat
|
sitting on her head like a paraffin stove
|
I'd fly away and be a bat
|
across the air I would rove
|
|
stepping like a tightrope walker
|
putting one foot after another
|
wearing black cherries for rings
|
