Nature's wonders and flowers on the wall...

Kiepersol tree Cancerbush
Some pics I took a month ago at the local botanical gardens, the Kiepersol or Cabbage tree is an amazing plant and characteristic of our Free State Koppies (hills), the Cancerbush was supposed to cure certain cancers in the time of the Groot Trek, today it is being investigated for medicinal properties. Sometimes names given by the older generation are appropriate.
Flowers On The Wall - Statler Brothers
I keep hearing you're concerned about my happiness
But all that thought you're giving me is conscience, I guess
If I were walking in your shoes I wouldn't worry none
While you and your friends are worrying 'bout me, I'm having lots of fun

Counting flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playing solitaire till dawn with a deck of 51
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
So don't tell me I've nothing to do

Last night I dressed in tails pretended I was on the town
As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down
So please don't give a thought to me I'm really doing fine
You can always find me here and having quite a time

Counting flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playing solitaire till dawn with a deck of 51
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
So don't tell me I've nothing to do

It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright
Anyway my eyes are not accustomed to this light
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete
So I must go back to my room and make my day complete

Counting flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playing solitaire till dawn with a deck of 51
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
So don't tell me I've nothing to do

Listening to the song and some others on my PC and what with a conversation I had earlier today I came up with this short one...
Wednesday Blues in Dancing Shoes - Robert Le Noury
Jip, that's me tonight, melancholy and blue
wondering what you are going to do
anticipating a meltdown
expecting a fall
I'll be there when you call,
I'm always there when you call...
Ah well, such are the vagaries of the Universe.
