it’s just a
tiny little bonsai tree
its branches twisted
(kinda like me)
I saw it in a shop
just last Saturday
an’ so I took it home
seemed it needed a place to stay
it sat amongst the larger trees
it looked forgotten & forlorn
perhaps it even felt like me
a little lost, a bit lovelorn
such a tiny little thing
in a blue ceramic pot
seemed we needed each other
so I took it home, thinkin’ why not?
it’s a tiny little thing
a 5-quid bonsai tree
but sittin’ on my desk
it brings great joy to me
