Oh Fudge
The ground moved beside my feet
A mole lives there, I see… I named you fudge
The neighbors wanted me to get rid of you
Oh Fudge… what will become of you?
You’re nature is clear for all to see
Sooner or later you’ll visit their yard
And their nature is hard hearted to see
Oh Fudge… what will become of you?
The moment you’re there the hunt will begin
And they will destroy you in the end
Truly you do not belong in my yard little friend
Oh Fudge… what can become of you?
I took a shovel to dig you out
Till within a bucket you were fleet of feet
I let you go in a park’s forested nest
Oh Fudge… I know what will become of you.
The world is often unkind as it passes us by…
No one acknowledges us but in hurtful ways
It seems I am too kind hearted by far, you see…
Oh Fudge… what will become of me?
Kind-heartedness is not the choice for most…
It’s not easy, but I’m grateful it has flourished in me.
What the others think I do not care…
Oh Fudge… what do YOU think of me?
