BUY A BIT OF SPRING
 

Buy a pack of seeds, ma'am?
There's zinnias and such,
veg'tables and flowers,
and they don't cost much.
You will take a dozen?
A dozen! Thank you, Ma'am!
I don't know how to tell you
how grateful I am!

Buy a pack of seeds
from a grubby little elf.
You haven't any garden,
and you laugh at yourself.
But BUY a pack of seeds
whose fruit you won't enjoy
and reap the lasting harvest
of a smile on a boy!
