A May Bouquet
Sing (or Say) to the Melody of
"These are a Few of My Favorite Things"
~ 'Sound of Music,' Julie Andrews
Roses with masks on
And tulips in lockdown
Purple lilacs aroma
From here to Tacoma
Peonies popping
And daffodils yellow
Lilies of the Valley
Their cups oh-so-mellow
These were a few of my favorite things
'Til Corona stripped off my wings
If the bug bites
On a May night
Pray they don't give
You last rites
For just when they say that it's safe to go out
Those doubts in your head ~ will sprout
