willie the wood spirit willie the wood spirit loved to play,
he'd dance and sing and run all day.
he'd teach the newborn birds to sing,
and mend a robins broken wing.
"till one day while running thru the woods,
an evil spirit, before him stood.
he cast a spell to make him sleep,
and placed him inside a tree to keep .
there he stayed for many a year,
until one day, what did he hear?
a choping sound ,some scrapes, some cuts,
poor little willie thought he'd gone nuts.
but the sound grew louder ,it was getting close,
and before he knew it ,he could wiggle his nose.
and soon he felt the wind on his cheek,
dare he open his eyes and take a peek?
he sommoned his courage and opened one eye,
looked all around and up to the sky.
when what did he see when he gazed up above?
a man with a chisel, a hat and a glove.
a man with a wonderful look in his eyes,
a man who listened and heard willies cries.
and set willie free rom his prison of timber,
that carver of wood he will always remember.
author unknown
just thought is was cool.
