topped with chopped egg,"
She said . . . .
"But please take that champagne
you've poured in a glass
And bring me a goblet of crystal
instead.

Then using your shawl to
pillow my head,
And smoking the pipe that I've
just painted red,
And clasping the paper with
all of my toes,
And letting my spectacles
slip down my nose,
I'll take a quick snooze on
the daffodils silk,
And let all the rest of you
finish my milk."
[1968]
