Our Backyard Queen

Paper crowns and bullrush scepters

Her throne a  willow tree

In a  blue cotton gown

And Nike hightop glass slippers

She reigns over  a grassy court

A fearless leader ~ Wild and free

A champion of the winged and fourlegged

Of apple tree and dandelion seed

Dutiful to her backyard kingdom

Collecting the leavings and legacy 

Long may she live!

Long may she reign!
