Two poems by dd2:
The Cheer Up Song
I'm the pineapple on the pizza
The chocolate in the fountain
I'm the butter on the toast
I'm a pepperoni mountain
I'm the teeth in the crocodile
I'm the lion's pride
I'm the cheetah on the plain
And all the animals worldwide
I'm the glimmer in the stars
The bells on the sleigh
I'm the most perfect
In every single way.
The Magic Box
I will put in the box
The first flower of summer
Freedom for everyone
And the chuckles of a baby
I will put in the box
A deer with a grumbling belly
A sip of the purest water from a green lake
The wing of a beautiful bird
I will put in the box
Ten blue wishes spoken in Egyptian
The last tusk of a woolly mammoth
And the first autumn breeze rustling in the trees
I will put in the box
A yellow night and some blue grass
A lawyer at the circus
And a clown at court
My box is fashioned with diamonds and rubies and pearls
With glitter on the lid and snake skin on the corners
Its hinges are made of a baby's giggles
I shall float in my box
All over the world and come ashore on the moon
The colour of the creamiest cream.
