The date of the celebration
(the second day of February) coincides
with medieval feast of Candlemas,

Before they began his dismount,
All flowers and scents were left behind,

I may be small, but I stand tall.
I am not a little girl. 
Yes, I've been squashed, and quashed, and messed and bossed about.

Loret, our lovely lithe flutist called the rest of us to the woods 
with her charming tune.

Congratulations, friend of mine, for getting back on course,
And for the sense of joy you found in getting your divorce,
We sometimes try an alibi to justify our fate,
But you have turned your life around by...

Oh, dear hart, you are such a deer, dear.

I know sweets, but it is lonely up here,

no need for you to shed a tear.

Sidney Irwin, was his name,
From Texas he did come.
A lad of only fourteen years,
He's just begun to roam.

He joined his brother's cattle drive,
Along the Chisholm Trail
Pushing cattle to the North
To meet the shining rail.

Gently blew...

Far from the throes with foes who dip acid,

but

Of bud bossed delicate; in its aroma much will enfold!
The turbulence of youth; also the seasoned and the old.

Always interested in what...

And insulted, humiliated as well as criticized
Of a bunch of ignorance this has epitomized.

Not to sound so personal,

so hard to speak out of frozen cold,

but from old to young-

framed to freed...

From bossed to doodled,
to cop-land inside my noodle,

call me into the brewery-

set sights on chewing me,
