I am no Grinch
no Christmas spoil
I am no finch
twirling in soil
I am no Don Juan
behind an orange mask
but am always up for a
challenging task
to woo you lil birdies
and have a romantic blast
I won't buy you flowers
or share my past
but will wear these white tassels
as long as they last
I won't hassle to tell you
about my coat of green feathers
but will rub up against you
with my shaggy cashmere sweater
It ain't funny about money...
the seeds I have
provide milk and honey
I sing along with the Congo drum
my song to you is no ho, rattle, hum
but to dance and strut
the day away
gyrating back and forth
I sway
to the African beat
dizzy from your spell
I fall at your feet
