Oh, Flora

I’m not afraid to tell it
How the flora on my left
Likes to brag to all the fauna
That she’s taken with the West

Maybe ’twas the mountain 
Or the headlands on the coast
Who touched soft upon her shoulder
And of whom, ’til death, she’ll boast

This Is July

Commemorative colors
Spinning, lighting up night’s sky
Birthday candles, Birthday candles
Bringing tears to eyes

All-Stars, will you teach us
What teamwork is all about
While we wander in the mountains,
Reflecting lakes up in the clouds

We move just a touch slower
Its the heat -we don’t ask why
Time to take off shirts
After all, this is July
