Earth becomes hopeful
When blades of green grass stand tall
For a regal spring

Ginger hair, dressed in black
Darkness, drawn to light
She stands in silence, gazing
At the rays, that grace the night
Chancing they are moonbeams
She ventures, closer still
The night air, warm as summer
Yet, she could feel its chill
She waits, so impatiently
For a sign, to tell her why
The sunlight replaces darkness
She fears, the moon has lost the sky

I’ll never understand it
Why men think it’s profound
To stuff their mouths with tobacco
Then spit it out, onto the ground
They chew away on a substance
Tucked neatly in their cheek
I don’t think I could kiss them
Their chances, are rather bleak
Why can’t they find a habit
That the ladies like as well
Like chewing bubble gum instead
I’d find that rather swell
So guys, please forget the chew
It’s so uncouth, and unrefined
Replace it with something minty
This, we’ll surely never mind

Mom sent me on an egg hunt
She said look for pretty colors
But all I really wanted was
My favorite breakfast crullers
She shooed me out the door
Told me to have some fun
Bring back lots of goodies
Enough for everyone
When I got back from the meadow
Mom said, Goodness! What a mess!
What happened, what did you do?
To your brand new Easter dress?
I tried explaining carefully, how
My basket became overloaded!
And when I tried to empty it
All the eggs inside exploded!
Mom looked at me rather strangely
Then a smile came to her face
Laughing she said, it looked much better
Then it did, in the dressmaker’s place
