THE RIVER

The rivers a wanderer,

a nomad, a tramp.
He doesn't choose any one place
to set up his camp.
The rivers a winder,
through valley and hill.
He twists and he turns,
he just cannot be still.
The rivers a hoarder
and he buries down deep
Those little treasures
that he wants to keep.
The rivers a baby,
he gurgles and hums
And sounds like
hes happily sucking his thumbs.
The rivers a singer,
as he dances along
The countryside echoes
the notes of his song.
The rivers a monster,
hungry and vexed
Hes gobbled up trees
and hell swallow you next.
