The Summer Orchestra 

By Fluttershy

The birds chirped,
The wind Sung,
As the moon went down,
And Celestia raised the sun.

The trees whistled, 
The flowers waved their thistles,
As a bear went “Thump,”
Upon a stump. 

The toads moaned,
The bob-cat groaned,
As I sat and listened,
On an ancient stone.

The Mountains bowed,
I sung out loud,
As the old oak tree,
Strummed on a cloud! 

The river flowed,
Toward the cliffs below,
As the willows blew,
On their leaves, gold and yellow,

And with one huge tap and hullabaloo,
I joined in the beat of the meadow.

Night soon came,
And song died out,
As all animals tall and stout,
Left swiftly to sleep in their dens,
Followed by the whistling winds.

The oak snored loud,
The flowers ne’er swayed,
As night swiftly replaced the day,
And home I went whistling the tunes,
The summer forest had taught me that afternoon.
