Count Our Blessing: Smoothly Steaming...

Count Our Blessing: Smoothly Steaming, Our Lady Catherine
-----
Count Our Blessing

Now our Catherine is quite a fair beauty, the lassie
Just a smatherin' of bright, not unduly sassy

    On the move in a breeze
    In the groove as you please

The Tuatha/Erin, and a sprite, yes she is, truly classy


Smoothly Steaming

When it's brewed and then topped with smooth whipped cream
She will stand, just to stare and watch it steam

    And while sipping smooth hot chocolate
    It's a time she does not talk a lot

And it's easy to get lost in that dream
Even if the chili is hot as a scream

Our Lady Catherine

Let Us Pray on this day
    (as we tell, we confess : if we dare) of her birth
As we bray out in gay
   (laugh full well, to success, as we share) joy & mirth

    Never doubt in your own soul, we all know
    Shout it out, Let The Bells Toll, Let it Show!

We can say - this we may -
    (We will tell, and no less: we're aware) of her worth

Let her stay;
    Let her play;
        Long May She Dwell
            Our Lady Fair
                On this, our Earth

Pray it's true:
As to hot chocolate,
    hot or chill
        let us hope
           there's no dearth

And may you
Bike or trot/walk a lot
    else it will
        surely scope
            ... to your girth ...

Be sure that you enjoy
      the full rich sweet and smooth
        from royal brown silk
            to blueberry and white
                candy blocks you got  
                    all just according to taste

But do not be too coy
     let it bewitch and sooth
         some pepper, some milk
              make you merry and light
                  (dandy chocolate)
                      ...just don't let it go to waist!
