Ma n d a r in

My love she fell
Into a hole at the bottom of the sea
I suppose she's now in China
Guess it's time to learn Chinese
Someone please it's time to tell
I feel she lit a fuse for kingdom come
For lent was spent a considerable sum
Dum dum de dum in realms sidereal
Spilled a coffee cup of pills into the cereal
Bowl like a well
My love she fell
Into a role of lost at sea
Her mermaid song she sang to me
With a purple parrot or perhaps mynah
I knew that eventually
With hair fair as living light, skin like Chinese
Porcelain a bit E vase I've come and gone
She always said, "My dear leave well alone"
It's hard to tell
My Lolove she fell , . .

Poetry by Chaucer Whethers
