I'v been working so hard you just wouldn't believe.
And i'm tired!
There's so little time, and so much to achieve.
And i'm tired!
I'v been lying here holding the gras(s) in it's place,
Pressing a leaf with the side of my face,
Tasting the apples to see if they're sweet,
Counting the toes on a centipede's feet,
I'v been memorizing the shape of that cloud,
Warning the robins to not chirp so loud,
Shooing the but(t)erflies off the tomatoes,
Keeping an eye out for floods and tornadoes,
I'v been supervising the work of the ants,
Thinking pruning the cantaloupe plants,
Timing the sun to see what time it sets,
Calling the fish to swim into my nets,
And I'v taken twelve thousand and forty one breaths,
And I'm TIRED!
Sorry about the but(t)erflies and gras(s) but they found those words offensive.
