Flag Day Poppy
The first of the multitude of poppies I planted decided to finally bust out today! I am very pleased. Almost as pleased as with the LOL cat Dylan made for me.
And in honor of Flag Day, I’d like to share the Stan Freberg song I probably quote the most:
“Everybody Wants To Be An Art Director”
George Washington:
Look at the colors you chose
The best you could do I suppose
A peppermint stripe with royal blue
The same as the British colors too
Now how will we tell whose side is who?
Look at the colors you chose
Why couldn’t it have been puce
Lavender over chartreuse
Or possibly some exotic shade
A delicate orange, mauve, or jade
Instead of the choice that has been made
Why couldn’t it have been possibly cinnamon?
Betsy Ross:
Everybody wants to be an art director
Everybody wants to call the shots
George:
Yeah, well…
Betsy:
Everybody wants to be a flag dissector
Changing all my stars to polka dots
Everybody thinks that they’re the final word
On what is strictly out and what is in
Howdja like a banner made of pea-green spots
On simulated leopard skin?
Or possibly a flag that features fleur-de-lis
On ochre corrugated tin!
George:
I’d like it. How soon can you make one up?
