Small box that became branded an icon
Matched with toys the die is cast
Unleashing children’s imaginations
Pocket size triggers of playful drama
Suffer wear in the palms without safety
Big smiles light up small faces
Until joy transformed by vintage
Adult collectors pursue the pristine
Prizing the un-prised, unused, unopened
Rare Models of yesteryear scaled in splendour
Fires of coveted desire lit by the matchbox
Small box strikes it big
