Daffodil Show - Any comments welcome. Cheers.

At our small country school Blackie the headmaster decided to have a daffodil show. In the winter all the kids were given a daffodil bulb to nurture and grow which would be included in a daffodil show at the beginning of spring. I dont remember what happened to mine but it never got planted so never grew. When showtime came around and I didn't want to be left out. There were a few wild daffodils around but I wanted to put my best foot forward so looked high and low for a suitable bloom. The best I could find was in a back garden. There were heaps so surely no one would notice one less. No way. On the morning of the show so it would be nice and fresh I cut through the Blackie's garden on the way to school and picked out this really fine looking bloom. The show went well. Judged by Blackie who'd been at the home brew and Miss Jackson the night before and was in a really good mood. To my immense pride my bloom was chosen for the main prize which I proudly accepted with Blackies congratulations and acollades from my fellows and teachers.
Later Blackie burst into our one room class waving his cane and yelling about me being a pirate and being born to hang. Someone had stolen his prize bloom. I got out pretty quick, shot down the track, hid in the gully and the scrub down the back. He got me for it next day though. Ah well theres always a price to pay.



In our little country school for nature study
we each grew a daffo-dil to put on show
My bulb was sadly thrown at my buddy
who made me slip be-cause the path was muddy
And it wasnt planted so it couldn't grow

Had to find a flower to dis-play.
Searching field and farm in desper-ation
Found a cultivated patch of them one day.
Picked a beauty then went on my way
Thank the Lord a-bove for such good fortune

We love the fragrant petals that bloom in the spring
school flower shows all that kind of thing
We're proud of our skills and quick on our feet
we're full of the devil and life is so sweet

I guess you already know who won the day,
the Heads congratulations and prize ribbons
I basked in the glory of a sudden rise to fame
a winner free at last from sin and shame
My status in that school had swiftly risen

We love the fragrant petals that bloom in the spring
school flower shows all that kind of thing
We're proud of our skills and quick on our feet
we're full of the devil and life is so sweet

Blackie burst in later to our class room
been checking his prize patch of daffo-dils
In-sanely slashing with his cane and bellowing my name
he didn't get me I was gone too soon
Out the back and down the track into the hills

Caught up with me next day I'm sore and sad to say
Ah the price we have to pay for our best moments.

We love the fragrant petals that bloom in the spring
school flower shows all that kind of thing
We're proud of our skills and quick on our feet
we're full of the devil and life is so sweet

We love the fragrant petals that bloom in the spring
school flower shows all that kind of thing
We're proud of our skills and quick on our feet
we're full of the devil and life is oh so sweeeeeet
