One firefly equals 1/40 of a candle.
Pondering how many silver fish.
Shall I have to catch for my tea,
How many fireflies warm the sea.
How many woodlice will I need,
To curdle the milk for my coffee.
As I watched the cheeselets,
Scamper across the floor.
As time goes by if you please,
Find it harder to catch.
Thoughts like these,
Like trying to hold on to a sneeze.

CATCHING FIREFLIES (cloud pt3)
Waking softly from my dreams,Pondering how many silver fish.
Shall I have to catch for my tea,
How many fireflies warm the sea.
How many woodlice will I need,
To curdle the milk for my coffee.
As I watched the cheeselets,
Scamper across the floor.
As time goes by if you please,
Find it harder to catch.
Thoughts like these,
Like trying to hold on to a sneeze.
