The Root Of The Matte r
(Sent in by Iris Walters, Mangapai) The sky has got tooth-ache! In a grey shawl She sits the whole day Just watching her tear-dvoos Fall, fall, fall. They gave her a cloud For a handkerchief. But nothing would bring Her any relief, Assuafjp her pain or her Grief, grief grief. So there she sat For nearly a week. Too unhappy To smile or speak, Holding her hand to her Cheek, cheek, cheek. And the sun is so tired Of waiting about And even the birds Are beginning to shout. “Why don’t you have it pulled Out. out, out?” —Copied.
