They used to say it's up here for thinking
Down there for dancing it is so~
Sometimes life takes a little thiought
To make a situation glow~
I once had a neighbour
Who blew all his garden leaves to my side~
Nothing I could do about it at the time
But then I let my minds imagination go~
I sucked up all those endless leaves
And placed them in my compost bin~
I thanked him so for them it's true
I said to waste good compost would be a sin~
Anything like that makes great compost I said
I thanked him once again~
I'll spread them all around my trees one day
And that will do well holding onto rain~
Since that day not one more leaf
Came over to my side~
He put them all in his compost bin
And I just smiled with pride~
