Gee, You're so Beautiful
That It's Starting to Rain

Oh, Marcia,
I want your long blonde beauty
to be taught in high school,
so kids will learn that God
lives like music in the skin
and sounds like a sunshine harpsicord.
I want high school report cards
      to look like this:

Playing with Gentle Glass Things
      A

Computer Magic
      A

Writing Letters to Those You love
      A

Finding out about Fish
      A

Marcia's Long Blonde Beauty
      A+!
