Description
I’ve said it before this is such a big mystery
My head keeps asking why such things happen to me
What’s happening? What’s new? Now let me see
Leaves sprouting, out all over the place, how can it be?
Turned my back for a while, whilst taking a pee
Returned to find something new to hope for fills me with such glee

Was early in the day, perhaps the afternoon
I was running around crazy, acting like a loon
Now the trumpets have become a leaf encircled cocoon
It felt soft and spungy when I tapped it with a spoon
Amazed at how it happened, so quick and so soon
So I ran around some more and acted like a hoon

In a wild frenzied rage, I scream out wowee
Cold lost and lonesome, but still I made history
This plant here is mine, I now hold the key
This good fortune is just too great, for someone spoilt, for thee
Before thinking of a name, a title, cause all I call her is she
I faced another problem, a pest, a bug, a flea…

I heard a buzzing sound, streaming in from on high
And I looked up to see a plague fall from the sky
Sheltering my plant, full of panic, I let out a sigh
As a thousand bites on my back, they begin to apply
The pain was unbearable I began to moan and cry
So I rolled over to my side, and to my plant, I said goodbye
They moved onto my plant, I thought it shall surely die
Starred my enemy in the face, one big swift eye
As small and a mouse, six legs, two wings, they could fly
Mental crazy psycho critters, they weren’t at all shy
This is it I thought, my end draweth nigh
Until something amazing happened, the bugs passed on by

Remembering the green eerie glow that happened at the start
That hurt when you touched it and smelt just like a fart
Most of the pests died the rest had to dart
The plant is very beautiful, clever and smart
Precious symbolic and everlasting, like a piece of art
The plant was designed to keep it and the bugs apart

Today was hot the sun shot down her beam
So sunny I went through and whole tube of sunscreen
Tidied up, cleared the place and made it clean
Much has happened much has come and been
Things are so much more complex than what they seem
The cocoons now face upwards and formed a raceme

Last night was sad, last night I cried
Last night I thought of terrible things and how Maeve died
I thought of the plant and the dark things it tries to hide
How it cheers me up and puts things aside
By the way, the cocoons are now all hard inside
They rattle and shake when water is applied

Something amazing has happened, too good, must be a mistake
The trumpets give birth to creatures of an unknown shape
Two insect like wings, they fly but don’t escape
Twenty of them in total, oh the sound that they make
The sneezewort is the only food they’ll take
Oh my goodness, its real, its not at all fake

I’ve only named the first born her name’s Zokate
It seems they love me, they have no hate
No eyes, but antennas on their head, to communicate
They’re real party animals, like to stay up late
I can’t think of something to save me, is this my fate?
If it is, than so be it, my lifes been great

Thinking of a name, thinking of a word
Something different, something new, something never heard
Can’t think of anything, everything seems so absurd
Hat to call the cross between, a lizard, an insect and a bird
Need to improve my vocabulary and speak like a nerd
But right now my mind feels so blank and so blurred

Covered from head to toe, in soft skin and scales
When they fly, they sours and they sails
And when they get scared, they hide and they wails
Sticky feet for climbing, no claws, no nails
Never ceases to make me smile, no they never fails
I am their master; it is me that they hails

Sick of the loneliness sick of the fear
Need to escape to find happiness and cheer
Desperately thinking of a way out of here
But they stole everything, even my climbing gear
And they took my magic rings from my left ear
Taken away everything, that I held dear
I let out a yelp, bitten by a dragon in the rear
Then all of a sudden it seemed so very clear
I send them all out to find someone near
To lead them back and my screams they will hear
What a wonderful plan, what a fantastic idea
Not too long until this place will disappear

Two days later i met my rescuers, who were insane
They were part of a travelling circus with no name
They had a small cannon but no big crane
Bang! Went the cannon and over the walls a man came
Scared of his presence, like a filthy stain
Not what I expected, no he wasn’t the same

Stitches down his face from not wearing a safety hat
He had belly button hair, long enough to plat
His body was round, his body was fat
The chair he was seated on, cracked as he sat
Clue-less and childlike were was his head at?!
‘My names Olwan’ he slobbered and spat

I introduced myself ‘hi, my names Cormac’
‘Lets get to it’ he said ‘climb on my back’
He then bent over, exposing his bottom crack
Suddenly I lost it, everything faded to black
I awoke a free man, but suddenly felt slack
Seeing people for who they really are is a skill I lack

Olwan picked me up and over the wall he climbed
So what if he's ugly and has a big behind
He’s a beautiful person, he was beautifully designed
With a big heart inside, so pure and so kind
I’ve grown so much from this, there’s way more to find
Deeply looking at myself, I feel so undermined
I was so self righteous, I thought my heart shinned
I thought I was so clever because of how things rhymed
I thought that once I was free, I’d have a clear mind
But no, it’s worse, there’s so much about myself to unwind
While I was alone, I never noticed these things, I was blind
Now that I’m free, its clear, everythings been underlined
