The Wispy Hair

Blowing along the wind In the breezy air A small curly strand Of wild wispy hair Who knows where from The hair did begin? Well I surely don't But I know where it's been It blew by volcanoes The Big Kahuna It floated the coastline And the beach of Laguna It flew through the desert Of Sonoran sand It flew through La Venta The heart of the land It blew through the waters Of Chesapeake Bay Up the Great Smoky Mountains Down Blue Ridge Parkway It blew past Petoskey And Toronto's tower Through green sunken Butchart Down Niagra's shower It blew by through Greenland And Iceland's twin heights It blew on through Norway Through the Northern Lights It flew through the channel Marked by George the Saint Past Scandinavia All cozy and quaint It blew past The Stonehenge The Bridge and The Bath The North Baltic Sea And Brandenburg's path Past the grand Eiffel Tower And Sacre-Coeur church Through ruins and stones Where gargoyles perch Past Torre Giralda The pueblos of white Past Vatican City Through rich Roman night Through Isola Bella The Tower of Pisa O'er the Mediterranean To the hunchback of Giza It flew through the sandstorms Of Sahara's son It flew on the arms Of the Atlantic Ocean It blew past the jungles Through African grass Through the eves of Zimbabwe Vibrant and vast It flew by the Red Sea And crossed through the crypts Through sphinx and great pyramids Of golden Egypt It blew past the east star Of old Bethlehem Past lost crimson castles Through Jerusalem It flew up through Russia On buran it did glide Past the Winter Palace Up to the Arctic bride It flew in through China It coasted The Wall It soared through Mount Everest Thirty thousand feet tall Came down through Korea The South and the North Through warm rising sun It traveled on forth It blew into India Through the Taj Mahal The forts and the temples The Bay of Bengal On through Indian Ocean The diamond squid sea It crossed through Australia And the harbors of Sydney It passed Bora Bora Through banana leaves Through red moon Uluru And great barrier reefs It flew past New Zealand Through Capricorn Tropic From cloud-headed mountains To towns so microscopic Through Jamaican waters Of peacock topaz Through coconut bungalows In the Bahamas It flew down to Brazil Past Machu Picchu Through Copacabana Rainbow sherbert Peru It flew through the South Pole And Antarctic frost Through Paradise Harbor Where it almost got lost But the small wispy hair All fragile and curled Did not feel so small In such a big world
