poem
7.
8. The river’s a wanderer
A nomad, a tramp,
He doesn’t choose one
place
To set up his camp.
The River’s a winder,
9. Through the valley and
hill
He twist and he turns,
He just cannot be still.
The River’s a hoarder,
10. And he buries down
deep
Those little treasures
That he wants to keep.
The River’s a baby
11. He gurgles and hums,
And sound like he’s
happily
Sucking his thumbs.
The River’s a singer
12. As he dances along,
The countryside echoes
The notes of his song.
The River’s a monster
