The Child's Mind



The dearest ones are invisible,
Squirrels are magical in my gorgeous mind,
Mr Samson is the only one who understands,
He knows Ronda too,
Ronda told me her secret,
Blue cows make for swell sprite,
No thats not the one,
Friends of mine are illusions,
Yes thats the one,
No it is not,
Ronda only believes in fireflies,
Dragon flies you mean,
Oh yes,
Dragon flies spit rainbows,
Your mother did not ever consider you,
You invented the telescope,
And she thinks you are a just a plain quack,
But your a trillion heir,
She is just jellies,
Jealous you mean,
Oh yes,
She gets to garden mermaids though,
Are you jealous or what,
I know I am.
