47 My 5th Leaf
47.
My 5th Leaf
Plucked thee while sitting
While Mayor speaking
Unlike the first four
You're not for décor
Lo! “Carabao Grass”?
CapSU family
And unknown to me
Crowd – far and near
Cluster – there and here
Fiesta spectators
PM August One
Start of feast on town
There's not enough sun
Not hot, not cold – fine
Mayor gives message
Parade to playground
Crowds and sounds around
Audience view – right side
Itchy grasses side
Kneel and Indian seat
It was eight years past
Since I was there last
Take part Padagyaw
Rejoice Dumarao
Our Lady of Snows!
