“Pookey”
Oh, Pookey—you’re the most.
Your hard to find.
Just like a ghost.
You come and go.
just like the wind.
I never know
when you’ll be in.
Can you take me
wherever you go.
So that I’ll always be
part of your show.
From the highest mountains
to the deepest seas.
To life’s bubbling fountains.
Just you and me.
We’ll slide down a rainbow.
We’ll dance in fairy dust.
We’ll have a sparkling glow
like the sun at dawn or dusk.
We’ll get lost in our magical world.
Riding dragons and having thrills.
Morning will find me curled up
In my bed . But,— where will you be??——-R. W. Johnson—–(2011)
