 As Water Falls


Bubble, bash, drip, drop

Plunk, splash, ripple, pop

Sounds of a waterfall as it plummets

Or giant waves over hard cliff rock

While waves are driven by prevailing wind

Waterfalls get their energy by falling over land

They’re peanuts about each other.      Sweet peanut brittle They’re pecans about each other. They’re pecans about each other. They’re pecans about each other.      Just pecan-ic not volcanic They’re walnuts about each other. They’re walnuts about each other. They’re walnuts about each other.      Walnetto not falsetto They’re hickories about each other. They’re hickories about each other.
