Yesterday I had a 10 am appointment at the free clinic I go to, but I didn’t get seen until after noon. We weren’t out of there until 1. So we missed choir practice.
We were going to be early for bread pickup, so we went to a drugstore for the fun of it. We looked at hair things and nailpolish. We saw this fuzzy nailpolish–I mean, it makes your nails fuzzy, like cloth. “Who would want fuzzy nails?” I asked.
This morning at 10 we’re giving a tour of our community garden to friends.
And that’s the haps. Ming’s doing laundry, and I need to make some fruit salad with the very ripe fruits we have.
Oh, I wanted to tell you we’ve been playing cards with Ming’s great fossil cards. And we have more verses of the bumblebee song.
Once upon a time
I went to Mt Shasta the town.
I saw the most beautiful bumblebee
that ever could be found.
I said to my darling,
“Let’s make a bumblebee song.”
He said if he knew it
he would sing along.
Oh Bumblebee! Oh Bumblebee!
I want you to bumble with me.
Oh Bumblebee! Oh Bumblebee!
I love you–don’t fly into my tea.
Once upon a time
I went to Mt Shasta the town.
My lover wanted to climb Black Butte,
a volcano short and round.
He’d been wanting to climb it
for seven or eight years,
and when he finally bagged the peak,
it brought him to tears.
chorus
Once upon a time
I went to Mt Shasta the town.
It was full of crystals,
for which it was renowned.
I wrote a letter to Abby–
I sat at a cafe.
And this is how I spent my lover’s
happy hiking day.
chorus
Once upon a time
we went to Mt Shasta the town.
We bought some fossil playing cards,
an investment that was sound.
We like the bugs in amber–
we like the trilobites best–
the coral and the urchins
and the ginkgo and the rest.
chorus
