And now I shall shower you gently with fifty words:
Sweet pea, petal, tugboat, pillow,Â
pantaloon, truffle, mellow yellow.
Cupcake, cream puff, rumpled angel,
damselfly, dragonfly, water beetle.
Paris France, last dance, soft brown eyes,Â
pickling spice, merry mice, gooseberry pies.
Woozle, snozzle, whatsit, wiggle
crumble, crackle, poppet, sniggle.
Flower pot, lollipop, peony, pansy,
storybook, tumbling brook, magic for fancy.
And when I’m finished I think you’ll see
the greatness of words, the fondness of me.
