In the 60’s, there was a comedy album titled “A Child’s Garden of Grass”, loaded with marijuana humor. For some strange reason, I can’t seem to remember any of it.
The lyrics look like they would go to the hymn tune “Grand Isle” by John H. Hopkins, Jr. #712 in “The United Methodist Hymnal.” The lyrics of the hymn are “I Sing a Song of the Saints of God” by Lesbia Scott.
That springy scene looks quite mythical… our snow’s still melting here in northern NH… and in fact, we’re supposed to get ice and/or snow tomorrow, lol

Spring is sprung / The grass is ris / I wonder where the birdies is? / The bird is on the wing – but how absurd / I thought the wing was on the bird!

Yes, Marigold auditioned for a play that she made up, and got rejected.

I always thought The Original Cast referred to when they tell you to ‘break a leg’

Hope you don’t have earworm, Marigold. Like Spongebob did.

Let’s just say Mari has some potential as a lyricist, and leave it at that!

I can see “Grass — The Musical” — depending on what kind of grass you’re talking about.

I wish Spring looked like this where I am. Instead, we’re getting April Showers.

That song’s lyrics bring to mind Dr. Seuss’s style.

All the world is in tune on a spring afternoon, when we’re poisoning pigeons in the park. . .

Now we know that time travel is possible, the Marigold singing the unicorn summer song can pop up next to blow Phoebe’s mind…….

I wonder if XTC’s “Grass” is in that musical.

Given how enchanted unicorns are with their reflection, I wouldn’t be surprised if the opening song of “Grass” has the line:
“I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,And what I assume you shall assume,For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.”
Unicorns also don’t bother with copyright laws.

Sounds like Gilbert and Sullivan to me.

If I were attempting to totally make that up on the fly, there’d be a lot more hemming and hawing.
No, not even getting close to “heeing” and “hawing”: Marigold would surely become dangerous…

Is this meant to be like “I have a song to sing, o” spoof from The Yeoman of the Guard? That song has come up in 9 Chickweed Lane.
