A long
Long time ago
There was a
Glimmering
Inviting
River

It ran through my town
T'was like a brick wall
No one could pass it
Yet we adored it
Just the same

My family and I
We'd all sit along it
Stuffing our faces with tasty sweets
Meanwhile running our tiny hands
Through the river's soft
Flowing hair

We bonded over the river
Fore the river gave off a magic
Serenity

But, as we all know,
Serenity is not forever
And so, when I had turned 13 years of age,
An evil man had arisen

The evil man forced the magic out of the river
He strangled the river
And shaved off her beautiful locks of hair
Leaving nothing left
But a soil grave
