Don’t look so high into the sky
That isn’t where the pretty birds fly
No butterflies flutter up so high
The sky’s the domain of mostly raptors
Hook beaked determined flesh-eating predators
Cast your eyes low
That’s the way to go
There’s where the flowers grow
Golden and sapphire blue
Beneath the arching rainbow
That’s where to find the lasting pleasure
Nature’s eternal treasure

Thank you, Sadje. Took me a while to construct. I just knew I wanted to do the opposite of the ‘Oz’ song

Especially flying monkeys. I get a bit worried. What if I’m the wicked witch of the east and I don’t know it?
