The Musically Inclined Forest




The Musically Inclined Forest
By Coat-Tails T. Mouse III
~~~
Listening to the choir and
inspired by its nature,

I submitted to being measured
by its musical legislature.

It was once I ceased my scribbling,
that I was naturally forced to see,

produced by constant chorus
within the levees in the lee,

a wonderous composition was
being leveled back for me.

From the forestry for the trees,
they came hollering headlong.

Not worrying so much the wording,
they got to shouting out their song.

"The meaning of the singing,
is in the lyrics, but of the 'round."

Thus my tail became uplifted by their celestial ultrasound.

    The symmetry of music that abounds in our earthly domain. Marvelously scripted.
