it's cherry sprigged from floor to rafter
that much is certain;
with ivory curtains
that never need washing.
blue dishes sparkling.
no cat anywhere
unless it's orange.
enough chocolate
for several winters.
all the classics I admire
a fire that flares up
when the first leaf falls.
and won't give out
till early spring
a small dog, The Fluffy-Eared
that tells intriguing stories
not only at suppertime.
plenty of cushions-
one in every colour.
uninterrupted dreams.
occasional music
of the stream.
