ON THE EDGE OF THE PRECIPICE

ON THE EDGE OF THE PRECIPICE

ON THE EDGE OF THE PRECIPICE

IT'S A LONG WAY DOWN

AND THERE'S NO ONE AROUND

TO CATCH ME IF I FALL

 

FOR JUST A MOMENT THINK OF THIS

WHICH DO YOU PREFER

TO GO UP OR DOWN

LIKE STAIRS FOR INSTANCE

 

LIKE WHEN CLIMBING A TREE

IT SEEMS EASIER TO ME

TO CLIMB UP THAN DOWN

SAME WITH STAIRS I'VE FOUND

 

IF ON THE EDGE OF THE PRECIPICE

YOU JUST TURN AROUND

YOU MAY NOT BE BOUND

TO FALL AT ALL

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I WAS WATCHING SOMETHING AND

ON THE EDGE OF THE PRECIPICE 

JUMPED OUT AT ME

SO I HAD TO WRITE SOMETHING ABOUT IT
