Q.R.V.

Music and rhyme, a song sublime

Was it ever meant for me?

“You should be mine,” in 7/8 time

And the key of Q.R.V.

Q.R.V.

Winter snowflake, autumn leaves

Soft spring and summer breeze

The wind of every season

Carries with it Q.R.V.

Q.R.V.

Let’s just be friends ’til evening’s end

Chronon camaraderie

When nightfall slinks towards her brink

The time is Q.R.V.

Q.R.V.

Should their circadian clock be whet

To toast horology

Be sure to swallow, at the fete

Une coupe de Q.R.V.

Q.R.V.

The time has come to make amends

For ribald revelry

Our new year will begin and end

When we toast Q.R.V.

Q.R.V.

By the mistletoe I found

A kiss, or two (or three)

For the pudding had been drowned

In rummy Q.R.V.

Green

I press my hand into the ground

The God of Science shall compound

And so your hand will feel my rush

In waves of light, of love, of lush

Wonderland

We persuaded powdered angels

Clutched hot cocoa in our hands

And whetted winter’s whimsies

In Imaginationland

Only For

Oh, but I know

This is more than a rhyme

‘Cause I want nothing from, only for,

Him this time

Oxygen

Next time round the bend,      

Should I be trusted with this task,

Before I spend a breath on you,     

I’ll first put on my mask
