To Teach A Pebble How To Sing
To teach a pebble how to sing,
you need a simple shepherd’s sling.
The stone’s inclined to be a grouch
when first you set it in the pouch.
It will go silent, being trapped
so tightly in the leather wrapped.
But as you swing the pouch around,
it comes alive; you hear a sound.
At last that pebble sings with glee
as you release and set it free.
