Sam and Jam ate their Pie,

A POEM
by Donald Osugi
The Leaves
The leaves came sailing down
from the treet above
The wind told of his travels
The leaves said "Tell us more
of your good tales."
The wind told
of the lands that are far away,
And of the marvels along the way
He told of lands beond the sea,
And he said;
"If you wish, I will carry you
to far away lands."
And away they went,
for a year and a day
To see the wonderful things,
and when they came back,
They thanked the wond,
And the wind said,
"You're welcome any time."
