I

There was this young woman

Wishing to be older

Then a mockingbird appeared

And told her to wait.

She said “no, I can’t. My love can’t wait”

And the mockingbird left.

II

There was this old man

Wishing to be young again

Then the mockingbird appeared

And told him to wait

He said “yes, you’re right”

And the mockingbird sat beside him.
