the topiary rose trees shine
on either side of the nursery rhyme
entwined with pale pink ribbons
at the borders of these
countries of strawberry symmetry
where the dress of the Princess
matches a tea rose-petaled sky at sunrise
when it's always high tea
laden with raspberry cakes
and there is no sunset
and the cream is gold jn the dairy
never spoiling
and everyone is always
merry in the dell
even when it isn't Christmas
