Little girl by the stream dreaming of Princesses and Queens in multi coloured crinolines

Grey squirrels wearing pin striped suits with crimson waistcoats and black Jack boots

Little girl by the pool dreaming of fairy cakes and cucumber sandwiches, strawberry moose,

with wafers that protrude to temp taste buds into over indulging, but not discouraging

Little girl by the lake dreaming about dirty old towns with acrid smoke and metal gates that cry out ‘poor’ as no one listens as the frost glistens on the work house roof,

as horses canter hoof by hoof as they carry the coffins of the premature dead

Perhaps better to have good dreams instead
