ABC

Gibber jabber

lost at  sea

all the voices of sailors past

call to me.

Come sail with us

the romance of the seven seas

pirates with cutlasses

come chase me.

Sand dunes of pure white

buried treasure

x marks the spot

as sirens sing a song of desire

luring senseless ones to their death.

Head in the clouds again

stories

dreams

dancing in my imagination

while teacher scolds me

‘Stop this piffling right now!

ABC and mathematics are key.

All the rest is nothing more

but a distraction to reality.’
