Ripples In The Pool
want to make a big splash?
Rated:
E
by
Avg Rating: (6)
You threw a stone into the calm
that was just so cruel
you caused a disturbance in the force
with the ripples in the pool

You think that I am a pigeon
sitting on a stool
but I am basking in the birdbath
making ripples in the pool

You think you made a splash in the world
and for that you are so cool
but all of your big splashes
are just ripples in the pool

Now you think the tides have turned
but you are such a fool
the tidal waves that you have made
are just ripples in the pool
