Hey!

Hey!

by D. Denise Dianaty

For each, a gift of generosity

From Granny's doting heart

I loved the Pop! Pop! Rattle! Tumble!

O'colored beads tossed within th'globe

Sister got the rolling scene pastoral

With tinkling, tumbling, music box sound

Run around and run around and run around…

Laughing… rolling 'em 'cross the ground.

Suddlenly… shockingly… Sister snatches that

Pop! Pop! rattling globe from me…

And toddles off with't joyfully

I'm left in a moment's consternation

O'er the injustice of it all…

A shrug… a giggle… Plop! I sit!

And happily twiddle round the scene pastoral

Delighted, enthralled with the tumbling

Tinkling, twinkling, music box sound

Chime and ting and chink-a-tink

Dash! And WHACK! Crashed 'cross my head!

Flash of stars and black blaze before my eyes

Bright twinkles on the edge of sight

Warm, itchy dribbles down my forehead

Sister giggles now and toddles away

Gone off now with both gifts - HEY!
