At Any Rate
At any rate the sunshine kissed the rose
It hesitated lest the fog could impede it
It waited at the striped shadow of those
Tall palm trees keeping up its high spirits
Until the mist in front of the rose melted
Until the pink petals looked resplendent
Until its aroused waves further crested
It said, further cloud and frost I haven't
There was still a cat chewing some bone
A crow trying to snatch a piece or two
The rose shone at the top of a green cone
The sunshine said, I am crazy to love you
Electricity flowing it crosses the bend
Reaches the fragrant root of the rose
Climbs to the top in madness to blend
With its girlfriend and the breeze blows
