“If you catch a falling leaf make sure its not still attached to the tree.”
Anon June 2012
Tiny Eldrid loved to play,
In his garden all the day.
Chasing bees and birds and things,
Dreaming that he too had wings.
Until the day he saw a leaf,
Fall from a tree - was filled with grief;
That such a lovely living riff,
Should fall to ground all cold and stiff.
So jumped to catch it as it fell,
Not seeing tree had fell as well,
And flattened by the falling trunk,
Was buried with a loud, ‘Ker-plunk’.
