Not End Up Being

Not End Up Being They say that she is such a pretty princess And in my business I am poor and penniless Maybe what I should do is to stop yakking Up and down river soon start kayaking. Will begin taking pictures of birds and bees Some swimming in water or in tall trees (Egrets) Others bearing eggs are building a new nest Others sit in shade getting some much needed rest. Often it has been known to be a big battle When up and down river I do try to paddle And even though thousand times have tried I always end up going against opposing tide. This is safest and most perfect thing for me Now I won't be washed completely out to sea While I am utterly paddling with persistence And always will be running into much resistance. What I did was decide to take my neighbor along Just in case if anything were to ever go wrong So that me with poor shape and physical health Will never be alone ending up all by myself.
