Wordy Wednesday - A Child's Story in Rhyme

The Ant, The Bee, and The Horse

I am an ant, and I am very small,
Compared to human beings, who are so very tall.

I am a bee, and I fly through the air,
Unlike human beings, I haven't got a care.

And I am a horse, and I pull a surrey,
Unlike human beings, I haven't got a worry.

Now me, The Ant,
And me, The Bee,
And me, The Working Horse,

We all have one common wish,
To be human beings, of course.


I am a butcher, and I cut meat,
With all other butchers, I must compete.

And I am a baker, and I bake bread,
I'll probably bake, 'til the day I am dead.

And I am a shoemaker, and I make shoes,
To pay my rent, and my union dues.

Now me, The Butcher,
And me, The Baker,
And me, The Little Shoemaker,

Have a common wish, of course,
How very nice it would be, to be,
An Ant, or a Bee, or a Horse.

I am a magician,
And I cast a spell,
They all have their wishes,
And now, all is well.

But I am an ant, and I'm so very small,
compared to human beings, who are so very tall.

et cetera, et cetera,
et cetera, et cetera,
ad infintum.


There is a simple tune that goes with this. One of these days, I'll figure out the notation and publish it. Just for you.

Peace.
