The Lyrics
“City sidewalks?!” Snippy snide talks—
Dresses are not their style;
Smoggy air they are fleeing and dismiss.
Wildernessing, tree-caressing,
Fleeting rile, lacking guile.
There’s no Web; no tweet horror is near.
Sylvan belles, sylvan belles,
It’s dismiss time of the city.
Trimming fling, aboring,
Pruning till sweet sprigs display.
Stinging streetlights for the eyesight. ..
Blink not in climes of green,
And no choppers rush over the lush firs.
Hear their toes crunch
Leafy toad lunch. . .
Shifting sand in the stream
And above, the boughs’ rustle is clear.
Sylvan belles, sylvan belles,
It’s bliss-miss time for the city
Swinger fling arriving—
Poon it will be tryst-miss lay.
Dresses are not their style;
Smoggy air they are fleeing and dismiss.
Wildernessing, tree-caressing,
Fleeting rile, lacking guile.
There’s no Web; no tweet horror is near.
Sylvan belles, sylvan belles,
It’s dismiss time of the city.
Trimming fling, aboring,
Pruning till sweet sprigs display.
Stinging streetlights for the eyesight. ..
Blink not in climes of green,
And no choppers rush over the lush firs.
Hear their toes crunch
Leafy toad lunch. . .
Shifting sand in the stream
And above, the boughs’ rustle is clear.
Sylvan belles, sylvan belles,
It’s bliss-miss time for the city
Swinger fling arriving—
Poon it will be tryst-miss lay.

Three silver 5's for Sylvan Belles! Hope she likes them! ;-) 555
Outstanding substitutions, particularly "choppers/lush firs" for "shoppers/treasures."
5-5-5 for your pastoral symphony! ;D
