Coconuts and Fish and Birds

Coconuts and Fish and Birds

If coconuts could grow on trees
and birds could fly
and fish could swim.
What a wonderful world we’d all enjoy,
what a wonderful world we’d all live in.

If every line I wrote could rhyme
and poetry spilled from my pen,
I’d write about the things I find
and how, and why,
and where, and when.

If everything I wrote made sense
there’d be no interest
in my words.
That’s why I write, and love the world,
and coconuts,
and fish,
and birds.
