Once there lived a humble man in a small quiet sun-kissed land.
He looked after his home and worked all day.
But when he was done, he would relax, take his guitar, and sing about his day
About the tree’s he saw covering the hills, and how he saw a Butterfly and a Cow that would go moo. But he wondered if a Cow-Butterfly could exist and, if it did, what sound it would make?
