PINK SATURDAY
EXHIBITIONIST!
Look at me! I'm at my best!
Brightly-petalled. pinkly dressed!
Look at me! Aren't I perfection?
View me from the best direction!
Do you see me, bowing, primping?
Don't you like my pretty crimping?
See how I attract the bees!
See how I curtsey in the breeze!
I am going to live for ever
Because I'm beautiful and I'm clever!
I am lovely! I'm divine!
Ladies and gentlemen, the world is mine!

Trevor sent this lovely shot.
Is the flower still living?
Bet it's not!

SWEET SAMOA
She was waiting in the wings to sing her song;
We were waiting in the wings to do our bit.
With Samoan music playing
She would do a lot of swaying,
While we were there to act a little skit.
*
Her smiling face lit up the curtained stage
And her movements, when she danced, were full of grace.
Though not too young, it's truthful,
All her movements were so youthful
That they matched the sweet expression on her face.
*
Ours was a meeting that was very brief;
Ships passing in the night, that sort of thing,
But it's funny how we treasure
Little moments of such pleasure.
Say 'Samoa' to me and I hear her sing.
