I saw three birds
of colour green
build a house
that can’t be seen
These elephants planted
a silver rose
yet it has grown
an orange nose
A shed of blue
and darkened red
a seven eyed cuckoo
to bake the bread
A cyan can
to eat the wheat
a bath which owns
some smelly feet
A dog to make
a bed of straw
a horse to suckle
two wild boars
A carnivorous donkey
that does not sleep
a rhino eating bananas
a multi-coloured sheep
What you have read
and you have seen
has actually never been
as you look up to the sky
I think it’s time to say good bye
