Colour me in.

Colour me in.

There is a simplicity

To the skyline

Even when a complex design

Is sketched alongside

A coconut tree

A unicorn in a playground

An elephant in front

Of an office block

A sun wearing a smile

Sports dark glasses

As a wobbly rainbow

Arcs over

The spire of a

Lego built Cathedral

Coloured yellow

And blue

A bridge over the river

A ship with no crew

Just a man

With a patch

And a wooden leg

Every time a figure

Is drawn

With a smiley face

Pigtails and tiny feet

Eating Ice cream

That melts in the heat

A dog on a lead

Walked by a man

Dressed in brown tweed

The day looks brighter

If only we saw

The world through

A small child’s eye

The river

Would never run dry

Or break its banks

The rich would give money

To strangers

Without any thanks

There would be no fear

Scarce any dangers

We would all wear a happy face

And the world would

Surely be

A far better place.
