Dear Mother Nature: Thank you for the brown fur coat that kept me warm all winter.

It kept the chilly winds away.

And protected me from the cold dark nights.

You have brought us Spring weather and the time has come.

It is time for me to take my furry brown jacket off.

And show the world what hides inside. I will lay the brown stole on the bench when the dance begins.

I want to wear my pretty pink dress.

My pretty pink ballerina dress.

I will show my pure beauty.

And be the fairest princess at the ball.

In such a lovely gown.

Alas, the prince has asked me to dance while the orchestra plays The Miracle of Life.
