And Willy Wonka Continues to Stare
There are efforts evident behind the glass
On red, red temperamental
Material, fabric, dressing –
‘Bee Mine,’ says the Teddy;
And Willy Wonka continues to stare:
A study in poise, self-assured
Enough to expect
That one day, maybe soon
His heir will materialise
Like his wondrous creations
And build an Empire all his own.
