Me Ol’ Bamboo
Everything,
it seems,
can now be made
out of bamboo;
pants and socks,
ornamental clocks,
the things they pop on fence posts;
shoes and ties,
traditional mince pies,
a serving hot of French toasts,
and a gazillion other things;
new roof tiles, countryside stiles,
the sound when a telephone rings;
teacups, mugs, a smile and hugs;
there are so many things
I can make and do,
with a little bit of me ol’ bamboo.
