The Nature Of The Boy Least Likely To

It's always been in my nature
 I am at my happiest
 Sitting out on the cricket pitch
 Eating broken lolly sticks
 And raisins covered in chocolate
 It's always been in my nature
 It is just a bugabear
 It tags along with me everywhere
 It pinches me and it pulls my hair
 And it giggles and flicks my ears
 As it pokes fun at me
 It nibbles at my fingernails
 While I'm asleep
 I sit on a swing seat in the breeze
 Watching the leaves fall off the trees
 And even though it looks sad to me
 Nature always dies so beautifully
 It's always been in my nature
 It is just the way it is
 I sink it and it resurfaces
 It scratches at my bandages
 And it wriggles
 Over all my calluses and sores
 It tickles
 But it doesn't hurt me anymore
 The flowers stick out their tongues at me
 Scrabbling around on my hands and knees
 As I pick up all the fallen leaves
 And try to glue them back onto the trees
 I try to glue them back onto the trees
