A Rose-Petal Top [rev.] Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Still under influence of Lactosa, Sucralosa and Leucine, the
three evil sisters Selatine, Princess of Darkness and Rotten
Teeth, employs; in a shop I saw fleecy tops in beautiful pink
shades of cerise, fuchsia, lavender-magenta which became
flower petals in my thoughts, bought another rose-petal top
to salve the hurt crocodile within in charge when these evils
had my mind enchained - with a new lavender-magenta top

The crocodile is a princess again, no-one can see scales or
strange reptilian feet, dancing happy, camouflaged in beauty
bathing in dreams of fairy utopias where a crocodile is also
butterfly; what a great recompense for spending money on
flowery things, it's wonderful to be a happy crocodile today
