WEE ALTARS

(Sing to the tune of My Favorite Things)

Bluebirds and seashells from far away beaches

Hearts made of glass and some mythical creatures

 Two little gnomes with their Day-glo coiffures;

Green and blue bottles, of course, de rigeure.

 

Miniature fiddle in miniature case lives

Bright Russian dolls with their painted-on faces

 

Mary and Buddha belong to the crew

There’s really nothing wee altars can’t do.

Tears can loom when

Life goes boom and

Colors fade to grey.

Small kingdoms so near

Chase away doubt and fear

And send all my blues a-way.

This is fun and easy; you make up some verses, too. HAPPY NEW YEAR.
