She donned her pretty tutu

Forgot about her shoes

Grabbed a yellow sunflower

Held on tight, as not to lose

Golden tresses fell

In waves, she didn’t lack

Traveled down the pavement

Never once did she look back

She was only a child, a wanderer

Though she drifted, less and less

Followed the roads before her

No longer a restless princess

Let me sail, into the bliss

Where the setting sun and horizon kiss

Journey far, into the night

Let the stars be my guiding light

Watch, as the moon shows his face

I can’t think of being in a better place

I’ll throw my troubles, over the side

I never want to go back inside

Here, is where I long to stay

Upon the ocean, drifting, far away

I’m exhausted, from all night excursions

The wine’s made me numb, from submersion

Quick, pour me another, I’m fading

This feeling is downright degrading

Perhaps, I should lay off the liquor

Since it goes to my head, much quicker

I usually do things quite dumb

Wonder what it is I’ve become

Can’t remember, the next day

What I did, anyway

I’ll probably do it again

To which there is no end

This wine is divine, and now it’s all mine

In fact, it’s my new favorite friend

Let me throw stardust into the sky

Watch the moon catch it, as it floats by

Glimmering pieces, ice covered stones

Glide through the air, like unpiloted drones

Leaving the night, in a shimmer of haze

Over the oceans, with bright lights ablaze

Make a wish, darling, on the next shooting star

Grab hold of it tightly, you’re bound to go far

Here I am, a spotted cow

Tell me what you think

I’m not the ordinary kind

When it’s milk you want to drink

No, I’m the one who dances

When the cowbells start to play

The girls, you see, they all love me

So here is where I’ll stay

So sorry to disappoint you

But I’m sure you’ll understand

I’m really a bull, in cow’s clothing

Even have my very own brand

You can skip the milk, altogether

And of course, forget the butter

Not every cow is exactly the same

Like me, there is no utter
