when carried by a smile,
sequinned in a satin glove
and left to grow a while.
Selective is one's knowledge
when suspected of a crime,
amnesia so effective
on the motorway of time.
Playful is the humour
when alcohol is consumed,
intoxicating pleasure
and innocence presumed.
Delightful is the child
who always seeks to please,
for it's they who hold the secret
have the world at their knees.
In all this jumbled chaos
our world can still be bright,
it is the Children of the Universe
who shall make everything all right.
