I'm Still Awake, Still

In a cream-coloured house

with an upstairs 

and a downstairs

lived Rosalind the Publisher 

and her bunch of Onions.

Rosalind was tall and busy and thoughtful. 

When she heard an editor singing 

in the kitchen one day, she said,

'Time for a choir now, don't you think, Onions?'

'Good idea,' said Sue the Editor. 

Sue the Singer thought so too.

'But I need some lyrics,' she said.

'Who'll write me some words for drifting and dreaming?'

So Elizabeth, the Artist and Author 

dreamed up something wonderous 

and sang about it in her head.

And Rosalind and Elizabeth and Sue-times-two 

danced the songs 

and the words and the pictures 

around and around 

until they become a beautiful book and CD.

'I'm still inspired, still,' called the creators to each other.

So they scooped up their ideas 

and waltzed them all the way 

to the Melbourne Arts Centre.
