The Coward

 

The coward was frightened of everything

Around friends, he was scared of his shadow

The ugly tones that his own wife would sing

The little lambs that sit by the meadow.

 

Around friends, he was scared of his shadow

Always frightened that the roof will climb in

The little lambs that sit by the meadow

He was scared to use the recycling bin.

 

Always frightened that the roof will climb in

He was scared to fix the cracks on his wall

He was scared to use the recycling bin

And when neighbours would play games of football.
