Liquid Poetry: Four Leaf Clover

 

Author's note:  As I found myself silly enough to think, "just maybe I can find a four leaf clover" while scanning the grown over clovers emerging in the garden... I recognize the magic of being a child again....light, wonderous, believing in the "statistically impossible". Then almost immediately I started singing this to myself before I could catch my tongue.  

and I laughed a little...kept scanning the garden to no avail...while singing myself some magic. 

  4 Leaf Clover

Erykah Badu

Bootzilla, baby 
Touch a four leaf clover 
Maybe we'll get over 
Try and love might come your way

Here I am, on a cloud 
If you want me take the chance try love out loud 
As I drift through the sky 
Shooting cupid's arrow you just might try 
So don't miss baby, take your time 
You've only got one chance, yes, so come on

Touch a four leaf clover 
Maybe we'll get over (if you wanna be with me) 
Touch a four leaf clover (come on) 
Love might get you over (you better pick the right one) 
Touch a four leaf clover 
Maybe we'll get over 
Try and love might come your way

Like the wind, I am free 
Going places, being things I wanna be 
To settle down, is oh so hard 
But I will grant you that one chance 
So pick the right card 
And don't miss it, take your time 
You've only got one chance, do-wee-ooh-wee-ooh

Touch a four leaf clover 
Maybe we'll get over 
Touch a four leaf clover 
Love might get you over 
Touch a four leaf clover (just one try) 
Maybe we'll get over 
Try and love might come your way

Free as a bird, yeah, yeah 
To catch me is to catch a leprechaun, ooh-ooh 
Hold on to your rabbit's foot 
I just might be yours forever 
You better

Touch a four leaf clover (come on, baby) 
Maybe we'll get over (say you love me) 
Touch a four leaf clover (I know it's risky) 
Love might get you over (you can't resist me) 
Touch a four leaf clover 
Maybe we'll get over 
Try and love might come your way

Touch a four leaf clover (touch a four leaf clover) 
Touch a four leaf clover 
Try and love might come your way (you might get lucky, you just might get me) 
Love might get you over 
Touch a four leaf clover 
(Touch a four leaf clover) 
Try and love might come your way 
Maybe we'll get over

Touch a four leaf clover (So come on and touch it) 
(Touch a four leaf clover) 
Touch a four leaf clover 
Love might get you over 
Touch a four leaf clover 
(Touch a four leaf clover) 
Try and love might come your way 
Maybe we'll get over

Touch a four leaf clover 
(Touch a four leaf clover) 
Touch a four leaf clover 
Love might get you over 
Touch a four leaf clover 
(Touch a four leaf clover) 
Try and love might come your way 
Maybe we'll get over

Touch a four leaf clover 
(Touch a four leaf clover) 
Love might get you over 
Touch a four leaf clover
