WHO TOLD THEM

WHO TOLD THEM


I TRIED TO TELL THE SQUIRREL
WITH TAIL ALL BUSHY AND IMPORTANT
HE SCOLDED ME
BANGED HIS PAWS TOGETHER
SAID I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW
AND SCOOTED OFF
PERHAPS TO STEAL SOME COOKIES
THEY ARE KNOWN FOR THAT YOU KNOW
THEN SOME GEESE CAME FLYING BY
MAKING ARROWS IN THE SKY
I TRIED TO TELL THEM MY DELIGHT
AS THEY CROSSED THE MOON IN DARK OF NIGHT
BUT THEY WOULD NOT LISTEN
THEY SAID THEY'D HEARD
THE TWO OF YOU ARE SO ABSURD
THEY'D HEARD, THEY'D HEARD, THEY'D HEARD
HOW COULD THEY KNOW
WHO GAVE AWAY MY SECRET
I TRIED TO TELL A FIELD MOUSE
HE SCURRIED AWAY FROM ME
I TRIED TO TELL THE CLOUDS
BUT THEY TRAVELED ANOTHER WAY
FINALLY J ASKED THE WISE OLD OWL
WHAT COULD THE PROBLEM BE
I WANT TO TELL THE WORLD MY LOVE
HE SAID, THEY KNOW
WHO TOLD THEM
SHE
