A Lite-Pink Band In the Sky

A lite-pink band in the sky
  midst powdery baby-blue
I thought to myself, 'But why?'

Does it herald the birth of a girl
  cared for by five loving brothers
Or perhaps it's a cotton-candy twirl

Could it foretell an early flamingo season
  one where the brightly colored birds
Flock up north here where it's still freezin'

Or maybe the sky is suggesting I buy --
  so my girl's not infected with the blues --
A bouquet of pink roses as a surprise
  And pray she doesn't ask, 'But why?'
