Please tell me a story,
Any story, any kind.
I love them all,
I think you will find.
I like them all,
Both short and long.
You can just say the words
Or sing me a song.
Long as a movie
Or a short nursery rhyme,
I’ll stay here and listen.
I have the time.
Will it be about you
When you were a child
And walked uphill both ways
To school for ten miles?
Maybe you’ll tell me
Of earths turning ‘round
And the stars and the planets
And the suns they surround.
Will there be a moral?
Will it teach me a lesson?
Will it be a mystery,
Always keepin’ me guessin’?
So, will it have animals?
How about a pig?
Or maybe an ant
Who wants to be big.
Or could it have
A bug or a lake
Or buildings or rockets
Or just one snowflake?
and more…
