1. A Poem

   

   Share Share Post

   There was a man indeed - indeed.
   And he sowed a garden full of seed.
   When the seed began to grow.
   Like a garden full of snow.
   Then the snow began to melt.
   Like a ship without a belt.
   Then the ship began to sail.
   Like a bird without a tail.
   Then the bird began to fly.
   Like a needle in the sky.
   Then the sky began to fall.
   Like a bottle on the wall.
   Then the bottle became to spill.
   Like a fairy on the hill.
   Then the fairy began to dance.
   Like a lady going to France.
