The life

The scarecrows stake is left alone
the scare-er of crows has left his home
to wander the lands and fields of gold
until his roaming brings him home

The Pumpkin's fate is more of a moan
From amazing carriage to mouse dinner and home
One day he was looked at as elegant and divine
Now he had mice teeth gnawing at him all the time

The filthy old soldier walks back from war
And a stubborn young woman screams from her door
"You smell worse than a camels breath"
The soldier replied "yes most do in camps of death"

So you see travelling is what makes a human being whole
Too see the world as ice cream
enjoying every bite from a great big bowl
But the life itself is dangerous, the life itself may swallow you whole
