The grass may be green, and the sky may be blue,
But how's the wind made, and what does it do?
Is it made in a fan put up in the sky?
Is it blown from the breath of a man passing by?
Is it caused by a puff of a chimney's warm fire?
Is it conjured from songs of a musical choir?
There are some ideas on how wind is created,
But what does it do? It must clearly be stated!
Does it go really far and flow round a bend?
Does it hit a great wall and meet its own end?
Does it lose energy and disperse in the sky?
Or go on forever, like time passing by?
Whatever the way the wind blows or it flows,
We'll never know how, or where, the wind goes.
