On that gloomy day
by the west wind
from a kite
they came down a dame
who told was
to make us tame
‘Perfectly fine in everyway’
she said ‘bout herself
At glance,
I believed she needed help
Took us home
for a bath
full of magic
and some dance
with the days
we know the woman,
like a book
that wasn’t the cover
A woman full of might
beauty and kind
taught us that
there’s no else where
to go,
except high up to the sky
Her name was Poppins
Yes! by far the best
we have met
‘Today or Never’
that’s her motto for the best
Anything can happen
she said,
everything is possible
even the impossible.
So this lady
wouldn’t make us bang-a-bonk
next to Thames
or sit lazy on the couch
and to vargle
in front of her
oh boy! that’s a no.
With her
we laughed all day
we sang all day
went on ventures
were simple was never complex
along which
‘nothing’
turned to anything
and everything.
she showed us to
let the past take
a bow,
as forever, is now.
for when you dream,
you’ll find
all that’s
lost is found.
Seeing us happy
made her happy
we loved her very
that she was never a “nanny”
Yet Again
on some day
a west wind blew
with a different sense
For Mary Poppins
took climb,
As,
Nothing is gone
forever
just only out of place.
