Getting Wrapped Up In the Idea of Second Chances

I saw a little snail on a parched branch A tiny spider on my door Took a greenfly off the dogs head And set it free to live it's life With all that wide open space to choose from Don't use all your energy climbing a parched branch little snail In fact, I think I'll go outside and place it somewhere lush (hoping I've not interrupted a life plan) Pause They were pretty low on luck - but at least they have a chance now Eek now I have a greenfly on my arm Pause Go live your life greenfly (there's a tiny spider somewhere be careful) Oh no, a horrible bug Pause That one went near the bins outside Ok, this wasn't as gratifying or poetic as I first thought
