Paper crowns and bullrush scepters
Her throne a willow tree

In aΒ Β blue cotton gown
And Nike hightop glass slippers

She reigns over her grassy courtyard
A fearless leader ~ Wild and free

A champion of the winged and four legged
Of apple trees and dandelion seed

Dutiful of herΒ backyard kingdom
Collecting leavings and legacy

Long may she live!
Long may she reign!

~ Our backyard Queen ~
