School Lore
Every day shuffles answers –
no question likes to hurry.
Therefore animals talk freedom.
*******
Tall trees have a long way to blow.
In the park, birds sing for nothing.
Any road is a ribbon for writing on.
*******
Mermaids fly the art of oceans.
Every field-mouse has a nose
making tigers look dangerous.
*******
Most spiders like to spin and spin,
hence their days are tidy.
Though they turn corners at an angle,
they travel with their eyes open.
