I will put in the box
The fan of a famous Elephant
Fur of a crazy cookie cat
Sea-salted shells on the sea-shore

I will put in my box
A baby’s bottle waddling in to a crib
A drop of spiced soup
A kick of a baby boy

I will put in the box
Three shows spoken in Japanese
The last coin of an ancient grandad
The first smile of a baby

I will put in the box
A snowy day and a giant snowball
A cat in a hole
And a rabbit in a tree

My box is fashioned in gold and silver and steel
With dinosaurs on the lid and weird substance in the corners
Its hinges are the arms of a griffin

I shall stroke dinosaurs in my box
On the mountains of China
Then lay it on top off a cushioned bed
The colour of wolves
