An Ode to the Outdoors

I really love the outdoors, yes I very truly do

With reaching bright green trees and birds that sparkle blue

And expansive fields of flowers, all brand spanking new

And all these things are great, they’re really truly grand

But there are also creepy crawlers that can bite or lick unplanned

And rain and sleet and snow, that bring more stress than you can stand

With sticks and leaves and pointy things that stick and poke poke poke

Or animals that snarl and pounce until you choke

Still, I truly love the outdoors, with my whole entire heart,

But I’d rather watch from inside, set very far apart
