Reading a Sonnet in My Bonnet
As I sit here in my Brooklyn backyard Basking in the sun in my fluffy satin bonnet I let down my guard Reading a classic Shakespearean Sonnet My yellow pampas grass curtsies in the sunlight As my snake plants dance in my window sills My chocolate hugh luminates so bright Giving my garden boy lover chills April showers certainly inspired my May flowers But jazz and jumping rope in June Have me dancing all through July for hours I bask my amethyst and rose quartz in the New Moon My pink matter prances on my partner this hot summer day Til the rainy memorial weekend showers washes our sins away
As I sit here in my Brooklyn backyard
Basking in the sun in my fluffy satin bonnet
I let down my guard
Reading a classic Shakespearean Sonnet
My yellow pampas grass curtsies in the sunlight
As my snake plants dance in my window sills
My chocolate hugh luminates so bright
Giving my garden boy lover chills
April showers certainly inspired my May flowers
But jazz and jumping rope in June
Have me dancing all through July for hours
I bask my amethyst and rose quartz in the New Moon
My pink matter prances on my partner this hot summer day
Til the rainy memorial weekend showers washes our sins away
