MOLLY IN THE GARDEN

'Tis spring

Molly is in Florida

Visiting mom and dad

And her flowers

The ones that wintered there

Did not like the cold

Had no time for dormancy

(Their snowbird trek last fall --
Still a mystery) 

In Orlando

Nana and Boppa kept them busy
Preened and green

Let them strut their stuff

Now spring's hints 
Of summer's southern heat
Have led them to consider 

A retreat 

Molly timed her visit 
To return them to their summer digs
Back home, on her knees

She will fluff their dirt

And address them in their flower-ese

In no time they'll respond

And, I predict, astound
Their Michigan fans

Should you be one

Be sure to take note of their Florida tans
