We're the shabby bits of calico
that you try to hide
you never bring us out when guests drop by
you push us in the shadows
where no body can see
two shabby bits of calico,beloved,
so shabbily.
I felt your tears upon us once or twice
and wiped them off because
they felt like ice
once,I felt your touch of love,
(or is this notion an emotion
I'm in error of ? ).
You save your silks and satins for the sun
but bring US out
just about when the light is done.
SORRY but THIS can't go on.
Calico likes the sunshine too
calico in shadows taints into
a shabby hue. ( a heartbreak blue ).
Calico is full of woe
that you feel so shamed,
calico in fact feels...
'bloody well' enflamed.
We're just the calico you never show outside,
YOUR DAUGHTER, and,her mother,
THE CALICO ....YOU... hide!
P.S
You think that we are Calico
but I just touched her face,
and I realize,
blind are your eyes,
for not knowing...
SHE'S
..........LACE!
