lyrics

“Honorific in the garden of old
suffering a lingering medal of goals”

*What are your strengths?*
I can count
I can lead in the best of times
I can help
rid the garden of mold

*What are your thoughts on death?*
Plant a cell
Purposefully resign
to the bell
in the garden of gold

*What might your family say about you?*
—I miss the fields of lions
—I miss the caudate of the sighs
—It’s for me to scythe
I can count
the garden stones

*What are your plans for the future?*
—Oh my!
I can leave
the garden alone
