So Much To See

Birds chirp and sing their sweet song,
Fly through blue skies all day long,
Butterflies roam, through the garden so free,
Down low to the ground, up high to the trees,
Little tiny ants march in one straight line,
Carrying their food which is twice their size,
So much to do and so much to see,
But humans choose to stay inside and watch some tv ,
My mum always said to get outside and go play,
But I always had an excuse, so I told her : how about another day!
So she came to me and she sighed,
Why does everyone stay inside?
As this processed through my head,
I stood up and I said,
There's so much to do, there's so much to see,
So I walked over and I unplugged the tv.
