A bird on a branch,
near the tree top.

The wind started blowing
and he feared he'd drop

He looked down at the ground
and it gave him a fright.

So he took to the sky...
to escape the height.

***

The frog and the turtle,
sitting on a log...

it began to rain
on the turtle and frog.

Their minds got disturbed
They started to fret

And jumped in the pond...
so they wouldn't get wet.

***

Jane loved Bobby
and Bob loved Jane,

but Jane couldn't bare
anymore pain.

Giving her heart
made her scared.

It only got broken,
every time she dared.

So she pulled back
and pushed him away.

Lived all alone
'til her dying day.

Cried day and night
'til they laid her in the dirt.

A life wrapped in sorrow...
so she wouldn't get hurt.
