Mother nature nurtured every wildflower foreseen
Empowered planet earth to intervene
And while her methods may have been a little bit extreme
She certainly knew how to throw a party
.
Dragonflies romanticising termites teasing
Magnifying
Analysing
Gratifying seedlings
.
The satsumas were strewn across tangerine dreams
I assume they were there to declare fruitful reap
Mangos danced tangos in hearty fandango
So far from home yet only halfway from canto
The cantaloupes sloped to provoke finger limes
Leaving clementines the hosts with most to prize
Wildflowers showered affectionate petals
That kissed to tell tall tales of petulant nettles
.
Mother nature nurtured every wildflower foreseen
Empowered planet earth to intervene
And while her methods may have been a little bit extreme
She certainly knew how to throw a party
.
Ladybugs hugged the tall grass as they passed over cloverfields briefly to
Cloverfields briefly to
Cloverfields briefly to
Please

The centipedes eventually remembered where they’re meant to be
Suggestively the millipedes agreed

The camel with the hammer toe made no attempt to hide
The razzle known to dazzle in its independent stride
The ostriches were furious
And curiously keen to go full emu on the lemurs while the harmless llamas leaned
.
Mother nature nurtured every wildflower foreseen
Empowered planet earth to intervene
And while her methods may have been a little bit extreme
She certainly knew how to throw a party
.
Drunken monkeys hung from trees
Poking fun at summer breeze
Bums on seats a stunning feat
With two left feet and tongue in cheek
.
Baffled were the badgers
While the beavers deemed it heedless choking gophers unbeknownst to nosey beaks
.
Gophers unbeknownst to nosey
Gophers unbeknownst to nosey
Gophers unbeknownst to nosey
Beaks

Harmless llamas
In pyjamas
Daft bananas
Charming Dahmers

Otter hockey
Jabberwocky
Drunken monkeys
Sunken flunkies
Alpacas
And all other shelf stackers
