Louise McVicar - Ode to a Plastic Oddiment

What on Earth does it do?
And why does it do it?
The plastic is tacky but wait!
This tiny small switch
if I give it a twitch
makes a small flashing light and slight flutter.
Oh what shall I mutter when I hear that slight flutter.
I'm amazed that it bothers at all.
Is this all it does? And I wonder at why...
anyone be indu-ced to buy it.

Louise McVicar
