her exquisite laugh
decorates the night air
while the freelance jesters look for
pennys on the ground
she rides the limelight she makes
and dances a quick two step on her
very own red carpet roll-out
while her kid brother flicks the light on and off
parody of paparazzi
its a pizza night and they pass
the special smile round like a litre bottle of coke
long after the party broke up
she lingers in the mirror
debating her narrow hips
and dreamy thinking of some special boy
she would dish the salacious details in full
but none of that really happened
just like a kid in an ice cream shop
wants all the flavours all the time
its been years
but she tells the tale vividly
while looking at old pictures with such
as mystical tears in her hearts eye
shes all grown up
but we are all still young someplace inside
i kiss her goodnight
and we dream
