Today the wind brought me A leaf undoubtedly gloomy
I could tell that it had gone through many For I seem to hear more than one story
It came off a grand oak, Flew down the river for a soak
Flowing into the sea from the river; From there the leaf started to shiver
Then a great wave started to amass, Delivering the leaf to what seemed impasse
The wind swooped in and set him free: His fate: to be burned slowly
The wind finally escaped And eventually came to me misshaped
But even though his story was terrifying, To the point where one would feel like dying, I felt like taking the skies and flying Just to avoid everyone's sighing
