Roses are Red, ‘specially today,
While violets display different hues.
But there are plenty of each, on Parade floats, olé!
In honor
(we thought) of . . .well, doncha know who?
Some think Pasadena’s gala is really quite fine,
Displaying floral beauties worldwide.
But, we who know better, while enjoying the show,
Declare here with joy and with pride.
'Tis Bernie they’re fete-ing in LA today,
The Man of the Hour and Day.
We trust you’ll enjoy yourself all of “your’ day, Bern,
As TeeEssers dispatch loud and cheery, “Hoorays!"
Then, along comes Ole Bern, to dash water quite cold
On this "Party" which was just getting started,
It fits, does it not, that when he's around
Stuff Happens, Dates are Wrong, ice cream's melted.
So we'll just have to wait 'til the eleventh, it seems
To heap praise on our pal, waaay down south,
Who gets to shovel sand on the beach, not snow on the walks,
'Cause this game's been called, on account of a balk!
