Grey

There was a little grey man

in a little grey suit.

Shoes neat ‘n tidy.

He got up at morn

and went on the world’s way

into the orderly grey yonder.

His little grey wife worked at home

his little grey kids at school

to be like their little grey father

in the Big Grey World.

One day the little grey man died.

They put him in a little black box

buried him in a hole

and forgot about him.

The Big Grey World had other little grey men

in little grey suits

with shoes neat ‘n tidy.
