Imagine Poetry

Lacey Cox

When I was young, I wished for a flower

Not something typical name like Coward.

Every year, every decade wishing for a flower

Every day, every night same old Coward.

Coward was named Howard and tucked inside a box

He had a pet named Lacey Cox.

Lacey Cox soon got married

and went on honeymoon on the ferry.

The marriage soon would end

Like the spoon over fire it would bend.

So Howard in the box

back he Lacey Cox got

As I still wished for a flower

whose name wasn't Coward.

But still, Coward was Howard

tucked inside a box

with a pet named Lacey Cox.
