A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a crises developed,
we would launch one. It would explode high in the air - explode softly -
and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air.
Floating down to earth - boxes of Crayolas.
And we wouldn't go cheap, either - not little boxes of eight.
Boxes of sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in.
With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach
and lime, amber and umber and all the rest.
And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces
and cover the world with imagination.

slipping silently through the fog...
coming around the cape,
she appeared in a shaft of sunlight...
and what a sight to see!
Glimmering as much as the ocean herself.
Massive and beautiful beyond belief!
Laden with treasures,

You MUST make space in your life for her gifts...
otherwise, just as quickly,
she'll quietly slip back out to sea.
