Coconuts Call Me
- by HappyPlayer

The sky keeps clicking
The Guiding Hand is shouting
“Don’t you tell me, ‘No!’”

The clicking is gone
I sneak over to the groove
Coconuts call me

I hear from the sky
“No! Not the coconut trees!”
I climb anyway

“Stop all that clicking!”
I say to the Guiding Hand
“Coconuts call me!”

Hunger drives me on
Teacher with big crab in path
(Why don’t we eat that?)

I walk right through her
My coconut prize in hand
Clicking sound returns

“Hey!” I shout to Hand
“My feet shouldn’t leave the ground.
Where’s my coconut?!”

“No! Not the Fire!”
Suddenly I am let go
See mushrooms in flames

Clicking goes elsewhere
I hear my name in the wind
Coconuts call me…
