random thing that rymes (believed to be a poem)

 where the sidewalk ends


there is a place where the sidewalk ends
 and before the streets begin,
 and there the grass grows soft and white, 
 and there the sun glows crimson bright,
 and the moon-bird rests from his flight
 to cool the peppermint wind.

 let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
 and the dark street winds and bends.
 past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
 we shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
 and watch where the chalk-white arrows go
 to a place where the sidewalk ends

 yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
 and we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
 for the children, they mark, and the children they know
 the place where the sidewalk ends.
