A peace offering… Just in case I hurt people here…
The Innocence of Youth
Their room was abuzz with lemon joy,
Their carpet whistled a purple tune,
And in the corner sat the dog
Who laughed at the cow which jumped the moon.
Their windows blazed with magic light,
Their curtains danced upon the rail,
And in the corner sat a chair
That grunted and read the Daily Mail.
Their wallpaper, a fragile thing,
Preferred to stand just to the side,
And by the wall sat a sofa
Made from real dragon-hide.
Their light-bulb hummed a secret code
To help the pirates navigate,
And on the wall sat a shelf
With a spaceship on, disguised as a plate.
Their table-car went everywhere,
Their cardboard plane ruled the skies,
And in the middle two boys sat
And saw a world beyond their eyes.
