To Lucy the Jazz Cat
My mother she told me
When I was a baby
To just grow and be the song I know
Some people they scold me
They say I’m so crazy
Wearing purple and singing so loud
This garden cans grow me
With doggies and kitties
Animals and vegetables like jazz
Self-belief does keep me
with passions continuing
accepting the weeds like I do me.
