\nyou\u2019ll see me glint by.
\nI\u2019ll try to wave assuming
\nI\u2019m not doing space things.<\/p>\n
\nweed under lamps;
\nI have to roll it generously
\nand put on funny hats.<\/p>\n
\nbut not what you\u2019d hope:
\n\u201cLittle House On The Prairie\u201d,
\n\u201cMerlin\u201d and \u201cBread\u201d.<\/p>\n
\na chimp in loungewear.
\nI\u2019ve spilt my peanuts
\nto see if they notice.<\/p>\n
