I Want To Live In A Sky Blue Basket Said Someone Small Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

I want to live in a sky blue basket said someone small.
when I'm in trouble I will hide under very pink clouds
where they won't find me.

oh said her sister. yes they will, the clouds will fly off unexpectedly
and then you'll get it.
ok then. a sky blue playhouse with no door.

but how will you get in?

through the roof was said.
it comes off, like a lid.
it will for them too, silly.

look.
it's my story
and it will work.
