The Missing Cherry

Where was my cherry?

I woke up this lovely sunny morning

***

As the day was up ready and dawning

***

The shocked look that came to my face

***

Made you quickly run and step up a pace

***

There was rich coffee and sweetened tea

***

Even the lovely buzz, buzz of a bumblebee

***

But where on the tray was my cherry?

***

It must have rolled off, you hastily said

***

I leaned out right over the billowing bed

***

And peered underneath it and on the floor

***

Then I saw my cherry over there by the door

***

You put down the tray and took off at a run

***

Lifting your dressing gown like the skirt of a nun

***

I giggled and whooped as your foot hit the door

***

Sending that cherry down the stair onto the floor

***

You carried on down there after that cherry so red

***

A very funny sight when you banged your head

***

From that day on you vowed to always bring

***

My red delicious cherry in a paisley coloured sling.

Sounds like me when I\’m making jam…
Cherry rolls on the floor asking
“Do you know where I am?”
