Hopes of mid-day napping
are dashed along the way.

Stands out like royal regalia,
Adorning a near naked vagrant --
But much more pleasingly fragrant.

White [Lyric Poem]
Against the bright white palace domes
fluffy clouds seem a tad too much,
and so they start to limp on home
like a gimp beggar on his crutch.
