Heaven knows,
I may be old,
and yet,
I am still the child
who is apt to say,
"But the Emperor is naked,
he has no clothes."
when faced
with certain absurdities
that some may believe
while allowing themselves
to be deceived.

Clever write, my dear Ida Belle! ~ and cute! ~ Just like your inner child that still shines through the 'mature' woman!

You're a pet and I love your poetry!

Love & Christmas Light,

Well, one thing is certain:  it's a good that I'm not the emperor. Now that would be absurd!

Loved the wisdom in this Ida, and it's very cleverly written. On to inch worms and ugly ducklings.
