Trying to be a frog...
The frog rises to the surface
By the strength
Of its non-attachment

Love! Took me back to my yoga days where I learned the Vedic version of nonattachment and spent the next 20 years regretting selling things I really really liked I think I'll write a haiku about that shit show
Dolly Parton's twangs this little poem's own implicit aura and explicit rejoinder:
It's a great life
If you don't weaken!
WHO wants to be strong?
Then there's Mary Martin's sweet soliloquy of song, putting a foot to herself:
I'm going to wash
That man right out
Of my hair!
