A puppet named Poe sat in a toy store
He was waiting for something but wasn’t quite sure
Just what that could be – he didn’t quite know
Or where he had come from or where he would go
He wore little white shoes tied with laces of brown
And a wide string rimmed hat with some corks hanging down
With a green coat of satin and buttons of wood
He sat on the shelf where the other toys stood
He had emerald green eyes that were strikingly clear
With two little gems hanging down from his ears
And curly light hair that shone like the sun
And a face of an angel that could make the world hum
He carried in hand a small bow and a string
And longed for the day he could make that bow sing
He’d play to the world and they’d hear the notes sigh
And the melodies would linger long into the night
Then a storm came and tore right through the toy store
And left the toys scattered all over the floor
And Poe saw the fear and the pain everywhere
And that moment he knew he had something to share
His hand held the bow as he pulled cross the strings
And a symphony rose – how he made that bow sing
And the melody rang through the heavens on high
And the toys they all smiled and gave a deep sigh
And then when the store was all quiet and stark
The toys came to life and they played in the dark
And Poe struck a tune on his magical bow
While they danced and romanced of the places they’d go
And each night there after – Poe played a new tune
While the toys laughed and danced there beneath the gold moon
And the string and the bow that Poe played in the store
Brought harmony forth cross the world evermore
