Went shopping with Poppie –
just for one thing.
It wasn’t a playhouse –
or even a ring.
Our reason for going –
its purpose was plain.
A video disc –
of Thomas the Train.
But when we had finished –
I’d gotten more loot.
These really neat pillows –
a backpack to boot.
I’m crazy ’bout Thomas –
he is really cool.
He’s with me at home –
and even at school.
My plan when I shop –
get Poppie to linger.
I’ve got him so wrapped –
‘round my small little finger!
