• Off and on goes the Merry-Go-Round
    With so many joys
    Slapped on it with paint,
    For the children who ride.

    The oversized dog,
    And the malnourished giraffe
    Both sit so patiently
    While they wear their doom.

    They all make you wonder
    Just how it would be
    If those same faces
    Were on you and me.
