Honoring You In Living Color
Kitchen counters alive; the vivid colors of red, green, purple and yellow glass jars. Your garden flourished.

All the tame animals came through.

And chimpanzees there in the few trees

The Party Animal
Mary had a little lamb
As stubborn as a mule
He never listened to a word she said
Cause he was way too cool

That lamb was always hiding
