Extrait

Once upon a time, there was a hedge on the edge of a yard.

There were strict rules and laws enforced by the guards.

“Set your alarms. Go to bed at sunrise!

“Set your alarms. Go to bed at sunrise!

Keep to yourselves, we’re watching you guys.”

And then, there was Cinnamon.

She was different, spunky and spicy.

She was fired up to dance,

and asked everyone nicely.
“Will you dance with me?”

“No thanks,” said Coco.

Champagne said , “Scram.”

She even asked the Mayor

and he said,

“No ma’am!”

“But I feel something’s missing.

There’s a hole in my heart,

and only a friend could fill up this part.”
So, she sang, and she tapped, and she clapped very loud,

hoping that someone would step out of the crowd.

But the guards approached her, pointing to the sign:

“No parties, no dancing, and stay in line!”

She cried and she cried, while pointing her toes,

as she spun through her thoughts, thinking nobody knows…

“There’s a world over there, not so far away.

These rules are wrong. I’ll prove it today!”

She picked up her acorn, and waited til’ dawn.

She could no longer abide by rules that felt wrong.

She said to her acorn, “ We’re just a couple of nuts. ”

She knew it was time to go with her guts.
