IMAGINARY PET BALANCING THROUGH LIFE
Imaginary pet,
Balancing on a rock,
With an orange tangerine ball,
Balanced on its nose.
Life, oh tattered dreams,
Wishing for it to fall,
But there it stands,
Balanced,
Forever,
Oh for it to fall though,
To bounce off that hard counter,
To be smashed,
Dashed,
Oh dear pet,
Won't let it fall!
My child,
Oh Seven,
Sitting there,
Pretending,
Your pet,
Is on that rock,
Holding a ball,
An orange tangerine,
On its nose,
Inside your head,
It is alive,
IMAGINARY PET BALANCING THROUGH LIFE
Ah-live!
You say,
With a tinge of laughter,
A smidge of a giggle,
I smile and walk away,
How I wish my pet would balance,
An orange tangerine,
On its nose,
Upon a rock!
