The forest ranger went to the big city
Wearing his gumboots on his feet.
Not a cloud was adrift in the periwinkle sky
He smiled and did not miss a beat.
As he looked high above him
He spread his arms out wide
The distant top of a skyscraper
Gave him secret places he could hide.
He passed right by a storefront
Which served fresh made sourdough bread
He went in and bought a hot slice
And on his way his went.
He stumbled on the sidewalk
Losing a button from his shirt
He shook his head in amusement
At least he wasn’t hurt.
He found another storefront
Where a needle and thread he bought.
He sewed his button back on his shirt
Tied the thread in a knot.
