Once upon a Tomorrow

Once upon a yesterday,
A shrew searched.
He searched under large boulders,
Under dirt and grass,
Digging till her hurt his shoulders.

Once upon a blustery day,
A shrew searched.
He searched under cold water,
Under fish and pebbles,
But all he found was a beaver.

Once upon a starry night,
A shrew searched.
He searched under looming trees,
Under leaf and branch,
But all he found was a couple of bees.

Once upon a flying kite,
A shrew searched.
He searched over large plains,
Over house and house,
But all he saw was passing planes.

Once upon a tomorrow,
A shrew searched.
He searched till he found you,
Waiting for him,
My little Miss Lady the Shrew.
