the bird flew over the mountain
the mountain fell into the sea
the snake crawled out of the volcano
because it wanted to be free
head for the hills, the monkey cried
as the river burst into flames
but the butterfly stayed behind
playing a waiting game
the angel gabriel rode his horse
across the icy waste
and put up signs on all the trees
with his homemade paste
everything was in confusion
except in the original swamp
where business proceeded as usual
and bigfoot went clomp clomp
zoroaster and gilgamesh
sat beneath a tree
the wind howled in the branches
because they could not agree
many millennia later
genghis khan surveyed the scene
and shed a tear at sunset
for what might have been
