Round and Round
Trickles of joy sliver down ruby candy apple traces
Slope innocent cheeks and naive exuberant faces
Round in circles and up and down goes the delight
Spinning laughter and giggling all through the night
Tinker bells chime on feathered dreams and foot hold
Letting go off the reigns Lucy has become rather bold
The carousel has come into town with glitter and joy
A belly full of swirling and the horse is not from Troy
One year of waiting is over and the party proceeds
Smiles all around is what the whole planet needs
Adults don’t know a thing about life in sweet bubbles
If they did it would be safer and fewer in troubles
Dad is through with being an adult and hops aboard
Grabs the stallion’s mane and soon receives his reward
Circus fairground rollercoaster and rotating motion
Combine into yearning poured from a pot of love potion
Why do we refuse to learn from our wondrous offspring
Who drift on meaningful dreams on tender fairy angel wings
Call it back to basics sustainability or overdue rejuvenation
Join the club and hail our children who deserve our ovation
Meanwhile most pleasant dizziness has reached the crowd
Who abandon masters of gloom and for once have allowed
Emotions to win over hard feelings and misguided reason
At the next election I’ll vote for a child at risk of high treason
No more wars unicorn in place of tanks and fanciful dress
Everything to untangle the shreds of global and personal mess
Kids simply know better to enjoy so much infinite beauty
Sweeten blows whereas grownups seek plunder and booty
Circles have no sharp edges and spheres are hard to eclipse
Taking nipper’s advice after all might prevent the apocalypse
A jester who removes puppeteer strings unleashes true stride
And only a fool would choose not to hop onto one more ride
