The Grass is my carpet The Sky is my roof These Trees are the walls There’s no plaster or nails The woodpecker hammers the holes The wind is an oscillating fan The squirrel and robin are my friends The squirrels chatter The robin sings The colorful leaves, a Picasso painting The fireflies, my night-lamp And it’s free Every twig on the ground beckons me Every sprig that jumps out flirts; what a tease! The dandelions are little suns I’m growing little golden orbs of seed pods that blow like snow in the summer air I don’t need a bottle to hold the moonshine It dances over me all the time
