Why Do the Green Grass Grow

Why do the green grass grow And fill the fertile field? Where'er man does not sow They tend themselves and yield. For when the rain would pour And skate beside the hill, They'd pave the fragile floor To let the slope be still. For when the weary feet Walk by towards a home, They'd serve to titillate To let the sprain be gone. For when a child would jump To play luksong-tinik And get a backside bump, They'd weave a safety net. For when a star would fall To grant the wisher's dream, The impact would be small On land to break its beam.
