Long ago there was a tree
Also a squirrel, and this bee
They both decided they would see
If they could gain knowledge from the tree
So day and night the squirrel and bee
Worked hard at learning from the tree
With help from their Neil Young CDs
And five Coltrane biographies
They'd get tired and need to rest
That doesn't mean they'd failed their test
It meant that they could give their best
When that was what was needed
From what I see the squirrel and bee
Are totally happy, and they're free
I saw the squirrel give the bee a backrub
They were smiling
Everyone has things they do
They think they maybe shouldn't do
Don't let your big brain stifle you
They might be precisely what you're s'posed to do
You can't fix everything just you
Join forces with the ones who love you so
