throughout it's life
the light was warm
the nights were long
and dreams were sewn
to be relived at dawn

We *really* need to establish signing commits with a verified key as common practice in software development.

I bumble and I buzz

Yet nothing comes out

My speech is cobbled

And upturned by Daisies

There on the open field

Adjacent to my beeting-

Heart - which fumbles

At its pulse - Such

Pretty heads they have

Those Daisies of the field

They splayed their blooms

For my grand view

And I am left - a Bumbling fool.
