Cheerful Cherubs





MONOCHROME WEEKEND

http://monochromeweeklytheme.blogspot.com/2010/01/saturday-9th-january-2010-vol2-issue20.html

CHEERFUL CHERUBS!


The strength of cherubs is astounding!
Here they are
Holding up a fountain!

*
They look cuddly and chubby.
They should be
Laughing on a bearskin rug!
All nudity and curls,
The way Victoria liked them!
*
They should be dandled!
They should be chucked under the chin!
Or they should be lying in Mother's arms,
Milky.

*
But no!
All over Europe
They are acting like
Charles Atlas!
*
They hold great vaulted
Cathedral ceilings
In one podgy little hand.
*
They carry huge Bibles
Through the sky
Single handed.
And smiling!
*
They stagger along
With great jugs of water
And don't spill a drop!
*
Is it any wonder
That sometimes,
They just can't take it any more?
*
