I WAS JUST A BLADE OF GRASS
That grew upon a lea
I soaked the sun and drank the rain
So pleased that I was me
The seasons came, the seasons went
The time just trundled by
The Earth engulfed my roots in warmth
Beneath the vast blue sky
A herd of milk cows came to graze
They ambled on my field
A great big Guernsey ripped me up
And so my fate was sealed
She chewed me up inside her cheek
I tumbled in the cud
My lea was quickly turned into
A patch of grassless mud
And so my life did not turn out
The way that I had planned
I ride a cloud of methane gas
Way up in ozone land
