Come On Coaxed Heart
Having had a hand at hilarity, Heart wanted a chance
To show the world she could entertain, sing and dance.
She brought Mind on board as best she could do.
He was not as eager as she thought he should be, kind of blue.
Come on! Coaxed Heart; it is time to show off our stuff!
But Mind was in another place, where it was dour and rough.
Heart refused to give up, made Mind smile and laugh.
Drew him a cartoon of a mama African elephant calf.
Mind thought what the heck? I am already here. Might as well play.
Actually, he could not remember ever having a more enthusiastic day.
Is this what it is like for you all of the time? He asked joyous Heart.
She laughed and said “Honey, this is truly a wonderful start!”
