Plucked out from between the blooms
And blown to tell the hour
Each seed that flees the summer breeze
Was born to make a flower
Amongst them, flirting roguishly
Each gust which he might flee on
There deftly danced a propagule
By the name of Dandy Leon
He saw his chance and seized it firm
With filaments of fuzz
And spun upon an eddy
Like a balerina does
It lifted him above the street
And clear of all his kin
He caught a cheeky quick-step
But the air was growing thin
So he threw a saucy limbo
And he dived over the town
He conga'd with a butterfly
And fluttered ever down
But as in every ballroom
When there's no more will to rhumba
The weather took a breather
And it blew a slower number
So Leon drifted dreamily
A waltz of heavy eyes
And landed with finality
Beneath the sunny skies
For today he was a dancer
And he flew above the land
But tomorrow he'd be growing
And next spring he'd be the band
