PLAYTIME
Asphodel, mild and meek,
excelled at playing hide-and-seek.
She’d crouch for hours beneath the bed,
or hide for days in the garden shed.
Once, in a cellar underground,
she spent a month and wasn’t found.
Her parents now think something’s wrong;
she’s gone a year – that’s rather long.
Asphodel can hear them chiding;
“It's high time that you gave up hiding!”
But she, in darkness, sticks to her plot;
and soon will seek them, ready or not!
