(104) June 7, 2010: Saggy & Silly & Sullen & Shy

SAGGY & SILLY & SULLEN & SHY

Saggy and Silly and Sullen and Shy,
Went out one night to look at the sky.

And Saggy said, “Look, there's a triplet that slants;
It looks like Orion is losing his pants.”

And Silly saw see-saws & spinners & springs,
And up from the south two piglets with wings.

And Sullen was struck by the black empty space,
With no stars at all (not even a trace).

And Shy dropped a spark in a little glass jar,
Not breathing a word of her wee shooting star.

For whatever we find in the sky overhead,
We’re certain to dream of (asleep in our bed)s.
