Tunnel of Trees
Stinging buzzing bees
Fly through the tunnel of trees
With me underneath.
On my short little street
The chipmunks meet
By the chestnut trees.
Sometimes I spy
Deer that are shy
On the river shore.
A poet of fame
Gave my little street its name
The gas lights his sign.
The river is wide
In Riverside
So let’s take a ride
Through the tunnel of trees.
