Keep them amused with dirt and grass
Keep them safe and on display behind glass
Sit and wonder, watch them plot out their escape
They’re going nowhere soon
Watch them try to run but they won’t get that far
Watch them try to fly but they’re trapped in a jar
Watch them try
Watch them fly
Keep them amused with dirt and grass
I’m intrigued for now but it shows that it won’t last
I’m growing tired but I’m not bored with them just yet
‘Til then I’ll leave them to sit there ‘til they’re gone
