I saw you soar

I saw an ostrich fly

High up in the sky

Whilst an eagle sat

In an opened cage.

I saw a snail ski

Winding down a hill

Whilst a hare snored

By a hunter’s gun. 

I saw a Pauper’s boy

Become a princess’ joy

Whilst the prince slept

Peacefully in his puke.

I saw I saw I saw

All you can do to soar

Whilst you dug up reasons

Why it could not be.
