Ask me for the weather<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And you’ll sometimes think me funny<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For even when it pours with rain<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ll tell you that it’s sunny<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Though times are hard<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The day is tough<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I haven’t any money<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You’ll think it queer to hear<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– in cheer – me tell you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I feel sunny<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The crumbs are stale<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fruit has rot<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There’s not a drop of honey<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You’ll ask me how the hunger hits<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ll tell you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It feels sunny<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No foxes stalk<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No songbirds talk<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There’s not a single bunny<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet on this lonely<\/p>\n\n\n\n
silent walk<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s truly very sunny<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And when I ail<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My systems fail<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My nose is raw and runny<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weak at the knees<\/p>\n\n\n\n
by some disease<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m feeling strong and sunny<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My clothes are torn<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and thin and worn<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All threadbare cloth and gunny<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I feel decked<\/p>\n\n\n\n
in satins, silks, and cottons<\/p>\n\n\n\n
bright and sunny<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, even when my words fall short<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My phrasing’s fraught<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Notation’s naught<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My meter’s shot<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My rhyme scheme’s (at best) crummy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because you love me like you do<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It ever shall be sunny<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
