Toured a mansion and its grounds,
The gardens most amazing,
Far beyond the scope of words
You’d summon for some praising.

Of all the beauty, what I loved
Was what was given when
The daughter of the patriarch
Turned, on her birthday, 10.
Was what was given when
The daughter of the patriarch
Turned, on her birthday, 10.
Her gift? A thatched-roof cottage,
Big enough to make a home,
With a fireplace and furniture.
(And worthy of a poem!)

Surely any girl would welcome
Such a present, but in truth
Only very few experience
A fairy-princess youth.

For the rest of us, imagination
Hopefully can match
Such a fantasy-come-true, complete
With roofing made of thatch!
