Tra la

I've got this character in my head, and she's singing.

I drew
her dancing once, and it took me so long that I never bothered to give
her any clothes. But she's got clothes now. She's also got
butter-yellow hair that's short and whispy, and looks like it belongs
on a dandelion-fluff three-year-old. Her skin is pink and would sunburn
easily, and she dances with her bare toes in the grass.

Here is what she is singing:

Lavender's blue, diddle diddle
Lavender's green,
When I am king, diddle diddle
You will be queen..

And
that's how I remember the lyrics, which my mother used to play on the
piano and sing. But whenever I find the lyrics online, they're not
quite right... even though I don't remember the second part I know
they're not quite right. And the midi I found was very wrong. Is
supposed to go like this...

Like that.

I wonder if we really threw away all of those old piano books... I have no idea where they'd be now even if we didn't.

Suzari with her dancing toes and her dragonfly wings likes this song.
