Zany I Grow Old Disgracefully

When I
                                                  feel down 
                                              and out of sorts
                                        and have no get up and go
                                  the only thing that lifts my spirits
                                      ^|^                                ^|^
                                       &                                   &                         
			            &&	                             &&
                                     !!                                       !!
                                    &                                       &
                                  *!*                                     *!*

                                                       are
                     Sparkling  ~  Dangling  ~  Outrageous ~  Bizarre 
                          the longer the better ~ the wilder they are
                                        they are making me grin
                                        I am feeling them swing
                                          when moving my head
                                           zany rings in my ears
                                              some they are odd 
                                             some they are even
                                            I wear them together
                                          with flowers in my hair
                                       lifting me          making me
                                      outlandish          eccentric
                                     zany I grow         old  disgracefully
                                   but what do           I care ~ with                           
                        bright red camellias         adorning my hair
