Through The Eyes Of A Child
Through the eyes of a child
butterflies make haute cuisines out of jelly-beans.
Through the eyes of a child
grasshoppers make bungee cords out of bottle-gourds.
Through the eyes of a child
sandpipers make pumpkin pies out of harvest-skies.
Through the eyes of a child
kangaroos make Cracker Jacks out of burlap-sacks.
Through the eyes of a child
elephants make potion brews out of morning-dews.
Through the eyes of a child
crocodiles make motor ships out of pillow-slips.
Through the eyes of a child
rattlesnakes make halo things out of bathtub-rings.
