When we met it was spring with the buds being born Now it’s springtime again and I’m feeling forlorn.

Are you just too bright for a romance tonight?” If we all only knew what to do when deluded By fauna and flora with light bulbs included We might satisfy a grand plan or grand mal-- The heck with it! I’m going to move to Nepal. Things are better in Nepal,  there’s no doubt about this I hear it all the time, "Nepal is pure Bliss". Or perhaps a magic pumpkin patch will do  this time, It's nearby, that's why! And the weather is sublime. Bunnell Farm-- Litchfield. Connecticut
