Poem - YOYO

A spinning top at the end of a string
provides a momentary distraction,
a retraction from the modern world.
Japanese machinations
spin childrens fascinations.
It spins, orbits and revolves
short attention spans involves
a tricky web of two-ply string.
Simple little plaything
Causing revelations
Spinning revolutions.
