Nature's Story

Nature is everywhere
On the land and in the air
Nature is almost everything
“But”, thinks the king
What about some splendid buildings
Wouldn’t that be nice?
Soon the king would realise
How much he gambled when he rolled the dice
Ten o’clock the clock went bong
In the king’s dream everything went wrong
He had no crown, he’s not a king
And those new buildings ruined everything
The very next day the king changed his way
Instead of ruining, he took care
Now nature is everywhere
