which I contemplated over coffee - but my mind blew away
I was trying to think - serious things
like the cleaning needing doing - not "cabbages and kings"
the shopping I must do - and my need for food
but my train of thought - became slightly skewed
"What does a Maharajah like for tea
who would pour - him or me?"
If I could have tea with a turtle - there on the sand
we'd talk; I'd ask - what he'd got planned
if I could fly - I'd follow the coast
riding a giant sunflower - the flower I love most
I'd dip my toes into the sea
sat in the shade - the sunflower and me
until the sand; bleary eyed; got up and said
they'd have to go - it was time for bed
so I'd ride a blue camel - there were plenty there
I much prefer red ones - but there weren't any spare
we ambled to the sunset - I on his back
'til he said let's stop - I could do with a snack
and as if by magic - on a blanket appeared
a picnic most fine - but something seemed weird
there were sandwiches for the camel - and straw for me
which I thought very odd - and the camel did agree
Then all of a sudden - I remembered my list
Things to do today - things not to be missed
