Musical Interlude

Music plays
Body sways

Feel the beat
Tap those feet

Pleasant mood
Interlude

Back to work
Mustn't shirk

Garden first
Flowers thirst

Tackle weeds
Scatter seeds

Feed the fish
Bodies swish

Mow the lawn
With a yawn

Roses pruned
Nose perfumed

Time to pause
Go indoors

Cup of tea
Gladdens me

Hear the news
Get the blues

Switch to song
Sing along

Spirits raised
God be praised!
