if i were you
and you were me
and the four of us sat down to tea


we sat in a circle
and you stood in a line
we waved out the window
and felt we felt fine


then you started thinking
what i had thunk
about what you had thought of me


so i hung on a ledge
and you swung on a vine
and we climbed all the trees
in order to feel taller
we passed each other
with silent tears
and flying colors
