Holly Up On Poppy

Holly up on Poppy
Canter never stop
She has escaped from the world
Where they bake beautiful girls

Holly up on Poppy
Trotting to the top
She talks and banners unfurl
Their secrets crayoned in swirls

Everyday I
Have to pluck up
Courage to look her in the eyes
The eyes of storms

Anyway I
Love to watch her
Ride and play the alchemy
That love performed
Laughing

Holly up on Poppy...
Everytime I
Look at my watch
I'm reminded we are poor
In hours per day

Every second
Spent with her
's a bulging wallet overstuffed
With angel's pay

Laughter!

Canter
A canter is a pace for a horse and ride that is smoother and slower than a gallop. It has a 3-beat gait.

Alchemy
The medieval scientific pursuit to turn base metals, like lead, into gold. Alchemy can also mean the transformation or transmutation of the ordinary into the extraordinary.
