A Hollow
I have a story to tell
About an empty word
Least some would surely say
Until this story's heard
Hollow's the word I speak of
Something empty in a shell
Just rap a hollow log
Or sit on one a spell
Hollow is an empty word
At least that's how it seems
Until you understand
Just what all it brings
Living in a hollow
Or you may say a valley
Understanding what it's like
When hearing someone jolly
There are so many things
Though little brings a thrill
Like hearing lovely echoes
Coming from the other hill
Now silence comes at night
But birds will wake you in the day
Though nothing causes fright
As long as no one goes astray
Now should you want some fun
That will rock them there hills
Just dynamite the hollow
But watch out for the bills
See living in the hollow
Can be so very full
It can be lots of fun
Maybe even a little cruel
One thing that it isn't
Nor can it ever be
Is void of Gods beauty
Come take a look and see
