Where’d your gardener go?
Has he left you lone?
Clouds began to show,
He packed up for home

Snowflakes fall
Snowflakes fall

Raise your tender shoots,
Now the winter’s gone
Beat back to your roots,
Your first bloom withdrawn

Rise once more!
Rise once more!

Slow at first to
Show your green and
Glow, your roots must
Grow deeper still
Till you press yourself against the rock;
Your thousand fibrous fingers lock
A shoring up of stem and stock;
Sure mooring in the tempest’s knock

Eyes of high passersby
Wouldn’t notice you;
Signs of glories now nigh
Only faint and few
Till the dayspring streams,
And the gardener’s dreams
Break as morning gleams

Rise once more!
Rise once more!

A random ditty I made while setting up some recording equipment.

Two men on third base,

Clinging by their fingertips.

One of them must go.

V. Pooh 10, he wants to be called. I can hardly wait for you to read his submission. Oh yes, he gets it — he gets everything.
