you
don’t have to be serious to write poetry
you
just have to have lots of fun and follow Lewis Carrol,
or
Charles L. Dodgson if you so wish
"Now
that you mention it I will have fish"
Even
invent your own words songs or swords
Which
definitely won’t get you into the house of lords
and be assured that
the nautical night need not leave us at sea
BUT
BETTER AQUANTED BECAUSE OF OUR DEvILRY.
WE
COULD LET YOUR IMAMGINATIONS FLY
MOUNT
OUR STURDY STEEDS
Pegasus
TO THE MOON
FLOAT
AMONG THE STARS
LEAP
OVER MARS AND NEPTUNE
RACE
WITH THE WIND AND CLOUDS
OR
GALLOP TO THE MILKY WAY
WHERE
WE COULD PLAY HIDE AND SEEK
IN
AMONGST A BILLION DIAMOND
STREWn; PATHS OF BRILLIANT LIGHT.
WITH
THE SPEED OF LIGHT
HEAVEN
AND earth WOULD BE OURS.
MOUNTAINS
LAKES RIVERS AND JUNGLES,
WOULD
CROSS IN A FLASH, OCEANS
deserts
AND CONTINENTS IN A MERE DASH,
AND
FINALLY WEARY WITH OUR TRAVELS
THROUGHT
ETERNAL SPACE, WE WOULD GENTLY
FLOAT
DOWN TO OUR RESTING PLACE,
AND
LEAVE PEGASUS TO GO HIS WAY.
THE END
