Parade of the Tulips of RoozenGaarde

On the banks of a Hyacinth river we strolled in a Purple Dream…

It was Queensday, and Flaming Parrots made ready
  for arrival of the prismatic Parrot King.
Suncatcher arose in a Pink Impression
  as Queen of the Night (that Blushing Beauty)
    donned her pink fringed Neglige.
A Dynasty of Pretty Princesses in Orange and Red
  cut short her Daydream of the Sun Lover
    to escort the Scarlet Pimpernel to the Temple of Beauty.
As the Golden Artist conducted his flashy Golden Parade
  of riotous colour and Secret Perfume,
    Ballerinas in their jester’s hats
      danced the Foxy Foxtrot and the Double Shake.
Finally, with a vibrant Carnaval flourish,
  the Silver Parrot spread his yellow Fire Wings.
The Charming Lady reached out with her Dream Touch
  to the Black Hero, that scheming Vampire,
    and off they whirled past the dismayed Parrot King
      into the Sunset Tropical.
Giddy with the florid intensity of the Danceline,
  we feasted our eyes on Double Sugar,
    sank into a kaleidoscopic state of Hypnose,
      and drifted off into the Frozen Night,

our Alibi nothing but a Whispering Dream…
