See Dick run, in the golden latterly years,
When past is gone, the future premieres.
Jane is a librarian, in the floral ruby days,
Sally is a teacher, in the tangerine phase.
Puff pursues orange butterflies in heaven,
And he and Spot frolic, in sunshine lemon.
Mother and Father reside in assisted living,
Where the blue jay to the moon is singing.
Gossamer wings are dancing on spicy wind,
In maddening swirls of color and sunshine!
Red mists scattered, gone around the bend,
And mauve wisteria cascades from its vine.
Hummingbird premieres in dance hall days,
Along with butterflies stunningly varicolored.
Colors travel with winds in the sunny blaze,
Over the tall emerald grasses, lately stirred.
The young girl prepares
For upcoming performance
She bows and leaves stage
She remembers sign
Of beta hanging on neck
She was never best
It was always a matter
Of others going further
Can she remember
The last time she truly said
I'm a happy girl
Life's a daydreaming nightmare
She slips on the hockey mask
Pulls out the ketchup'd chainsaw
Be bold, be braver than brave
She premieres tonight
A supporting character
All she ever was
However, she knows one thing
Tonight will be different
She will escape this
Feet drumming on pavement stones
No more mask for me
Fuller House premieres
Jaleel White silently cries
O did I do that
