Skyscrapers by Rachel Field
Skyscrapers
Do skyscrapers ever grow tired Of holding themselves up high? Do they ever shiver on frosty nights With their tops against the sky? Do they feel lonely sometimes, Because they have grown so tall? Do they ever wish they could just lie down And never get up at all?
