A Spring Farewell
Taurus is a tuning fork, anchored in the west
Auriga is warming up for some a cappella singing
Orion is reeling from that damned porch light, Sirius
And those incessant garage lights, Castor and Pollux
Retreating inside to a darkened room and Koss Pro 4AA
The Pleiades have taken up their seats in the balcony loge
Now enjoying "Blithe Bells" by Perseus Grainger
While Cass and Cepheus are moved to tears by
The "Four Last Songs" of Richard Strauss
Puppis is no dog nor hind quarters of any ship
But a celestial bikini, ah is that fair Berenice and Virgo
Coming of age in the east as old dogs and heroes
Fade from view in the west?
