Through a Childs Eyes

"Father, what is he doing,"

Asked the curious child,

"Is he singing to those animals

Surely they are wild."

"Oh yes they are my son"

As they looked upon the scene,

"But father won't they eat him

Won't he yell and scream."

"No my son, not at all

For he soothes them with a tune"

"Oh father don't be silly, 

Who'd try that but a loon."
