Another Marionette: light verse
Please tell me: just who pulls your strings?
I’d really like to know.
I see you making pirouettes
and flitting to and fro,
much like a butterfly, who lights
on flowers here and there,
and samples each one with delight
not getting anywhere.
Myself? I am a puppet too,
I dance a merry jig,
although I found out years ago
my role is not that big.
