There was a toy in the chest, where
the most beautiful toys were placed.
And there was happiness near the chest,
because many children there played.

But despite the overwhelming joy,
not everyone was happy in the playroom.
The girls and the boys were laughing,
but there was a toy who found its doom.

Subtle was the plaything big crime,
but tremendous the punishment it got.
There was no boy nor girl to play it,
and it was never taken from the lot.


But the toy was brand new and shiny,
and they said it smelled nice too.
So no girl nor boy would play with it,
so the fear to break it, made it taboo.
