Emptiness

Emptiness (Childrens song / lyrics and music by Joan Donnelly Ellis ) When a thing is empty it is not much good at all . What good is a baseball diamond with neither bat nor ball? What worth a hat without a head? A house without some folk? How foolish a shell with no egg white or yellow yolk? Can you find any use for a well without water, Or a quill that has no ink ...Well What good is a hockey arena with no skating rink. Can you explain the purpose of a book void of pictures and word? How unfun a bell without a ringer? Seems to me absurd. How dull Summer without rainfall and sunshine, Winter without snow? Would a tree be lonely with neither squirrels nor birds that caw like the crow? Fancy a yard without soft green grass to delight the barefeet A pie shell without pie filling could hardly be called a treat. What would you think if the sky held no sun,no moon, no color, no rain, no star? Now I do not want to upset you but what if narry a crumb could be found in Nana's cookie jar? How could you dance if there was no music in the radio or jukebox The only empty thing that's worth anything and loads of fun, I daresay is an empty box.
