Miss Palm and Her Five Daughters
Miss palm is gracious
She glitters like glossed sequin
On a gay night
With a little fragrance
She would be fairly like
Her five daughters are
Idiosyncratic characters
Sent from above to show we mortals
What's beauty
And together: The darling daring palm family
Like a shadow on a sunny day
My companions
In the park, on the street
even in the dark of the night
But be wary of Miss palm
and her five daughters!
