Vanessa and I and the Queen of Sheba <br /> we lived in a mystical land. <br />Where Vanessa and I proclaimed Karmen Queen <br /> at three she did't understand. <br /> <br />Her crib was her throne from there <br /> she ruled over a vast bedroom empire. <br />While she ruled we played, we squandered the days <br /> sometimes she would inquire <br /> <br />'Can I come out and play Barbies too; <br /> I’m tired of being the Queen? ' <br />'Nay our Queen, you must rule from your throne'’ <br /> her citizens could be very mean. <br /> <br />We were so young and just didn’t see <br /> that we were being unfair. <br />We’d curtsy and bow say, 'You rule from there now.' <br /> we could be quite the pair. <br /> <br />Now we’re all Grannies; it’s hard to believe <br /> how time sprouts wings it seems. <br />Yet at times we return to that mystical land <br /> of our Queen of Sheba in dreams. <br /> <br /> c.d.m.3/09<br /><br />cheryl davis miller<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/vanessa-and-i/
