Poem #254

"Optimism" is the thing with fur

That curls upon the sofa

And dreams of Happy Little Elves

And never snores--at all

And in the grimmest hour is there

And amazingly though my family be

They cannot bestir the Gentle Beast

That keeps my spirit free.

So long live nurtured it

And thus will be repaid.

For it shall, I know it shall

Bring a pony unto me.

Lisa Simpson (age 7)
