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 harpsichord.
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+!
