Mansion of Cardboard

Overcoat

Old wool cap

Leather gloves

Hide the fat.

In the world made of tears

He is safe from his fears.

On his own,

He’s on his own,

And he likes it that way.

 

Thoughts arise.

Fear is doubt.

Bearing fruit

Giving smell.

It’s the happiest day

When he moves far away

From the crowd,

Curious crowd.

 

And he wants them to

Stand back; the old man’s snoring heavy.

Down underneath the bridge he’s got his

Mansion of cardboard slats, and it’s enough.

baby. Stand back the old man snoring heavy.

Mansion of cardboard slats, and it’s enough.

Ooh.
