Cogs and Coils
By Carys
Published 28 September 2011
It has no name,
It’s got no gender
But it still bounces up and down
And side to side
On the floor
On the bed
On the table,
Everywhere
I follow it,
It jiggles across my world
It entertains me when I’m bored
It might be old and a bit dusty
But it’s not rusty
I look at it’s insides which turn and routes
It’s cogs still spin it’s coil still turns
But when it shakes it goes all blurry
It can stand on all eight legs
And it’s head spins and turns
I’ve had it since I could remember
It is mine and it bounds my heart.
