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!
