Maggie and milly and molly and may by e. e. cu. mmings
maggie and milly and molly and may
went down to the beach(to play one day)
and maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles, and
milly befriended a stranded star whose rays five languid fingers were;
and molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles: and
may came home with a smooth round stone as small as a world and as large as alone. for whatever we lose(like a you or a me)
it's always ourselves we find in the sea
