Did you say nine palms on Sunday?
Might it have been nine fronds strewn?
I think not exactly, but nine times many maybe
For the donkey scuffled on doggedly
Stepping delicately between bruising stems
The rider on his way into the holy city
What city might that be? Why Jerusalem!
And palms for peaceful victory in his name?
Yes, yes, so many questions child
Just mark this ninth day all the same.
