,@@@@,,@@, ,,,,,@@,,,
,,@@,,,,,, Around The House Is A Thick, Thick @@@@,,,,@@

@@@@,,@@@@ The Animals That We Fight To Keep Away, @@,,,,,,@@
@@@,,,,@@@ For They Speak To Us To Join Them In ,,,@@@@,,@

@,,@@,,,,, ,@@,,@@@@@
,,,,,,@@@@ Every Morning Our Father Clears The ,,,,,,@@@@

,,@@,,,,,, Them To Grow Back Each Night. Their ,,@@,,,,,,
@,,,,@@@@@ Leaves Are Teal, White And Yellow, Some @,,,,@@@@@

,,,,,@@@,, Father Comes Home He Is Angry And Cuts ,@@,,,,,,,
@@@@,,@,,@ Them All Down In A Frenzy. We Are ,,,,@@@@@@
