My Country Is Full of Fun

My country is full of fun My country is heated by the sun All day and night long My country is a tropical song. My country has the best alarm clocks The roosters start singing at four in the morning And at vespers, the crickets start whistling and chirping To mock the cacophony of the water on the rocks. My country is a vast perennial garden Where the soil is moist and inviting There, plants thrive in the forever spring Atmosphere, where lilies and roses are in Heaven. My country is like a bunch of scary movies Where the actors, who act and tell the spooky stories Are evil, mean, bizarre and possessed. This is real Because werewolves bite, devour, rob, steal and kill. My country is lit by the quintessential soft moon At midnight, zombies roam, crawl and hiss like snakes Who don’t like to make use of a fork and a spoon To gobble like the crazy scavengers of the lakes. My country is full of fun My country is heated by the sun My country is lit by the incredible golden moon At night, don’t walk. Please run.
