An Element Of Fun 7.22.2008 Poem by Margaret Alice

A dream – all things possible in love –
and it must be so, as spiritual guru
and romantic poet both assert, should
we believe and desert the cold logic of
rational thought and the grey sobriety
of intellectualism?

Why not indeed, all things spiritual seem so
much more colourful and interesting than
faded common sense and dreary duty;
I for one will believe in love and fairies
because smiling while I’m working is
the spoonful of sugar that fills

Concentrating on the job-at-hand with
an element of fun!
