Celebrations
THERE ARE ALWAYS CELEBRATIONS COMING UP...BEEN GOING ON SINCE GOD'S DOG WAS A PUP
The manner in which humans celebrate an
outstanding occasion
Is to focus on an object to mark the situation
Eats and decorations are the way things are done
There are several outstanding contenders
ranking as No.One
These things can be shrubs or saplings, butts and birds
Although People are unable to connect these words
Trees, hogs and birds are the usual choices
You'll hear the puzzlement in all human voices
A shrub or sapling? are you out of your tree
A bird? What sort of bird would that be?
And I think mentioned the butt of a hog?
Surely you joke, are you dense as a log?
Of course with an explanation it becomes
clear
These somethings to humans mean holidays are near
But all these things have one thing in common
The only way to use 'em is you have to kill 'em
I can hear it now as the cry goes around
A tree? You're worried about chopping a tree down?
A tree was alive many years in the ground
It did more good than the ones chopping it down
It's place in the forest kept everything sound
As for the animals, a pig, cow, fish or bird
Their lives were taken for reasons you've heard
Taking lives to celebrate special days
Proves humanity hasn't yet come out of their caves
