What’s To See Has Just Begun Poem by Keith Shorrocks Johnson

What’s To See Has Just Begun



Do you like goldfish
In a bubbling tank
And a tiny diver
With a treasure chest
That spilled and sank?

Do you like babyish
Picture books and puzzle tests
On the playpen bench -
And the battered toys -
Which one is best?

Do you like foolish
Adults in a tizz
Worrying too much
About the state you is -
They need a rest!

Do you like unselfish
Kindly docs and nurses’
Gentle looks and gentle touch -
Making better girls and boys
So ‘ickiness reverses?

I think I like this waiting room
With its many little teases
There is lots of joy and fun
And what’s to see has just begun

Even though I’ve got the sneezes!
