Like a diamond in the sky 26 November, 2008 at 8:53 pm

Q:
hi, just wondering how you are. . .
A:
Like a diamond in the sky
When the blazing sun is gone, when he nothing shines upon, then I show my little light: twinkle, twinkle all the night. In the dark blue sky I keep, while the city falls asleep, for I ne’er shut my eye ’till the sun is in the sky. Though you know not how I am, I’m just fine, thankyou ma’am.

I’d initially misread the question as the asker wondering who I am, which I might be wondering myself, but no…
As I wait at home alone, in a queue for Vodafone,
Basked in points of fairly light, before I head out for the night,
A voice, it tells me just to hold – good thing I’m not out in the cold.
Sitting wondering in this time, I search that twinkling nursery rhyme.
I know a deeper meaning must lie beneath the shallow crust
Of three or six lines from the tune familiar as the dish and spoon.
One hand to talk, one hand to hear – the phone it pressed against my ear,
An eye to see, a mind to guide, a pizza box (Intel Inside)
Quickly wrought an answer loose, attributed to ‘Mother Goose’.
But now I’ve whiled the time away, it’s time to bid to you good day!
