Peace Sign Mowed Into the Back Garden Lawn

For those of you that know the "Popcorn Tree" song, c'mon and sing along with me to the tune...

"I looked out the window and what did I see?
A hippie peace sign staring back up at me.

Summer had brought me such a nice surprise
A hippie peace sign right before my eyes......"

Ok, so that's all I could manage. I've never been very good at poetry, or lyrics, so there you have it. My mom will probably laugh though and get the song stuck in her head, as she heard it constantly throughout my formative years. She even heard a "hard rock/punk" version of it, courtesty of Matt Neeley, Darrel Holmes and Eric Martin during one of our churches youth talent shows. Gosh, I get the giggles just thinking about that. But, I guess ya had to be there.

Here are the original lyrics:

I looked out the window and what did I see?
Popcorn popping on the apricot tree!
Spring has brought me such a nice surprise
Blossoms popping right before my eyes
I could take an armful and make a treat
A popcorn ball that would be so sweet
It wasn’t really so, but it seemed to be
Popcorn popping on the apricot tree!

Maybe sometime later I'll manage more for the Hippie Peace Sign song.

But yeah, that's what I woke up to. A nice little hippie peace sign mowed into the back garden courtesy of the landlord. Oi!

Hey mom, remember the "Rainbow" song from the muppets? I can't even recall that without thinking about Sister Martin and it bringing tears to my eyes. *sigh*

Ok enough remembrance and melancholy for the day.
