There was a day

Mark Pearce (c) 2009

 

 

          There was a day

            When the sun didn’t sing

            And the Earth didn’t turn

            And the stars didn’t blink

 

            And the moon didn’t wax

            And seas didn’t wane

            And the frogs didn’t jump

            And the bees cause pain

 

            And the trees didn’t wave

            And the grasses didn’t flutter

            And the churned up milk

            Turn to farm fresh butter

 

            And the turtles didn’t poke

            And the snakes didn’t slither

            And the chickens didn’t cluck

            And the bobcats nither

 

            And the horses didn’t clomp

            And the dogs didn’t bark

            And the flowers didn’t grow

            Around the park

 

            And the whales didn’t spout

            And the monkeys didn’t play

            The arachnids didn’t 

            Creep all day.

 

            But today we have ‘bout

            All these things

            The Earth does turn

            The sunshine sings

 

            The moon and stars

            Dance through the night

            I love this world.

            It’s just all right.

Author's Note

It probably reads different in Italian.
