Can anyone help me track this poem, the ending is something like "Why have you brought me children's toys?" I couldn't track it through Google.

HeyLiz, did you find that poem? If not here it is:

'O are you the boy
Who would wait on the quay
With the silver penny
And the apricot tree?
'I've a plum-coloured fez
And a drum for thee
And a sword and a parakeet
From over the sea.'
'O where is the sailor
With bold red hair?
And what is that volley
On the bright air?
'O where are the other
Girls and boys?
And why have you brought me
Children's toys?'

If it's the same one you are talking about it's by Charles Causley.
Have a great day!
