We are having the pink alpaca parade today
This was told to me enthusiastically, and right away.

But then again, that’s the day the alpaca is the most merry and gay.

Having been raised the wild
always felt awkward when asked
to praise traditions unknown.

I-s rising above the horizon; 
Z-enith awaits the noontime,

A-s sunset is drawing near, 
I-t's Friday December eighth;

I-t's nice to wait and watch, 
A-s sunset is drawing 
N-ear.
