Wall On the Hilltop

Mummy & Daddy sitting on a wall

One brick breaks and I wait for it to fall

Little bird lands and eats the food that's there

Little bird leaves and tweets in despair

More bricks have crumbled, the dust in a heap

Cannot leave this hilltop, it's too steep

The dust blows away, it is gone

And on the ground sit Mummy & Daddy, Kim & John
