The Tree the Bird Lived In

WRITTEN IN 1994
                                  WRITTEN AND TOLD TO MY GRANDSON STEVEN
                                   WHEN HE WAS FIVE

this is the tree that the bird lived in
this is the forest deep in the woods
that held the tree, that the bird lived in
this was the limb that was in the tree
deep in the woods, in the forest
that the bird lived in
this is the nest, that sat on the limb
that was in the tree, deep in the woods
in the forest, that the bird lived in
this is the straw, that built the nest
that sat on a limb, that was in a tree
deep in the woods, in a forest
that the bird live in
this is the eggs, that was in the nest
that was made of straw, that was on a limb
that was in a forest, deep in the woods
that the bird lived in
this is the worm, that fed the bird
that sat on the eggs, that was in a nest
that was made of straw, that was on a limb
that was in a tree, deep in the woods
in a forest, that the bird lived in
this is the boy, that watched the worm
that fed the bird, that sat on the eggs
that was in the nest, that was made of straw
that was on a limb, that was in a tree
deep in the woods, in a forest
that the bird lived in
this is the bear, that scared the boy
that watched the worm, that fed the bird
that sat on the eggs, that was in the nest
that was made of straw, that was on a limb
that was in a tree, deep in the woods
in a forest, that the bird lived in
this is the hunter, that shot the bear
that scared the boy, that watched the worm
that fed the bird,that sat on the eggs
that was made of straw, that was on a limb
that was in a tree, deep in the woods
in a forest, that the bird lived in
this is the story, that the hunter told
that shot the bear, that scared the boy
that watched the worm, that fed the bird
that sat on the eggs, that was in the nest
that was made of straw, that was on a limb
that was in a tree, deep in the woods 
in a forest, that the bird lived in........
