Canary
I fell in love once
It was a wealth of disappointment
I would recommend it highly
I fell in love once
Because I thought I would be happy
And my ego often traps me
I fell in love once
The idea was so appealing
To be sleeping on the ceiling
I fell in love once
And I dismissed my doubts as hokey
But the landing was what broke me
I fell in love once
It was as fragile as an eyelash
And then it lingered like a skin rash
I fell in love once
It was the flowers and the sunshine
But the canary in the coal mine
Says beware of the canine
