    SONGS FOR PARENTS

    By John Farrar

    Dedication

                   Here's a rhyme for Barbara,

                      Laughing white and pink,

                   Here's a rhyme for smiling Ted,

                      And one for Wink.

                   Now Dick's not much at reading rhymes,

                      He'd rather sit and fish.

                   Well here's a couple of verses, Dick,

                      Read them if you wish!

    About the author:

    SONGS OF DESIRE

    Summer Explorer

         I'd like to be a gypsy

         With gold rings in my ears,

         Along the road to sit and sing,

         And not do another thing

         For years and years;

         A road to dream upon by day,

         A fire for dreams at night,

         Free to wander far away,

         Free to shout and free to play,

         Quite impolite.

         I'd pitch my tent beside a wall,

         All apple trees within,

         And if the apples didn't fall,

         I wouldn't hesitate at all.

         I'd climb—and sin!

         But if the weather wasn't fine,

         If all
