In Lemon Street Market today, the Elephant with Acrobat delighted me.
In a favourite kitchen shop was a Shaun the Sheep cake. Isn’t he splendid? There was a notice nearby asking that customers please don’t eat the cake!
I posted a delightful e e cummings poem the other day and was reminded of this one too. Hope you like it. It is one of my favourites.
maggie and milly and molly and may
went down to the beach(to play one day)and maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn’t remember her troubles,andmilly befriended a stranded star
whose rays five languid fingers were;and molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:andmay came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone.For whatever we lose(like a you or a me)
it’s always ourselves we find in the sea

Such a a fun poem. Cummings always makes me smile. Now I know what a ‘white elephant’ actually looks like. 🙂
