How Did it Happen?

Monday: The grass is green, the trees are high,
All the birds are flying by
Beautiful blue, like a painting in the sky
Tuesday: The evergreen trees, are losing their leaves
The lack of flowers, disappointing the bees
Wednesday: The grass is yellow, the trees are grey
The sky is dark, it's a gloomy day
Thursday: I strode past a factory, billowing smoke
I thought to myself, is this a joke?
Friday: No birds, no trees
Nothing left to believe
This is all so strange... I know something has to change
Saturday: I furiously trudged to the factory, its gate staring at me
I locked it secure, and threw away the key
Sunday: No smoke in the sky, a sparkle in my eye
There's a leaf on a tree,
And a little bird flew by.
