Nanook's River Poetry | ||
Leave
That Branch Alone a country song parody |
The alder's leaves are budding.
Birdsong fills the air.
The beaver dam is flooding.
Float by without a care.
Refrain:
Don't grab that alder branch, son
Leave that branch alone, son
Don't grab that alder branch.
Glide into the peaceful pool.
Gaze fondly at the scene.
when all at once a cruel
rock snags your boat unseen.
You may get a sudden whim
to reach out for that alder limb.
Think twice! I once did just that.
It flipped my boat in no time flat.
Refrain:
Don't grab that alder branch, son
Leave that branch alone, son
Don't grab that alder branch.
Reach out and touch a rock
