Lyrics
Alligator Song
I’m on a blossoming peach tree branch
over the alligator pond.
Alligators loll on the mud-bank,
sunning their breasts and bellies.
Blossom petals flutter to the water.
Tails go flap!
Teeth go snap!
I’m up here on a peach tree branch,
over the alligator pond.
Yes!

Migration Song
Songbirds migrate to a loving, gentle climate,
down the
coastline, drawn divinely, drawn to food and safer nesting.
In that refuge, genial bird-friends thrum and tweet
at singing parties.
I will warble to you sweetly, now; this lyric trills a
story:
Once I flew from silent winter’s lonely latitiudes,
through sleet;
Sanctuary, I am here now, and, tri-la, I’m here
to sing!
