What inspired us today...in oh so many ways...

The flower said I wish I was a tree
The tree said I wish I could be
a different kind of tree
The cat wished that it was a bee
The turtle wished that it could fly
really high into the sky
over rooftops and then dive
deep into the sea

And in the sea there is a fish
a fish that has a secret wish
a wish to be a big cactus
with a pink flower on it

And in the sea there is a fish
a fish that has a secret wish
a wish to be a big cactus
with a pink flower on it

And the flower would be its offering
of love
to the desert
And the desert so dry and lonely
that the critters all
appreciate the effort

And the rattlesnake said I wish I had hands so that I could
hug you like a man
And the cactus said but don't you understand?
my skin is covered with sharp spikes
that'll stab you like a thousand knives
A hug would be nice
but hug my flower with your eyes.
