Under the big ol’ tree - Matilde Avallone

Under the big ol’ tree in the countryside

a little kid is standing by

picking flowers here and there

making crowns and playing games.

Another kid arrived that sunny day

and asked the other if they could stay.

The flowers kid replied “yes you can”

and that’s how the story began.

The two little kids started meeting everyday 

growing up while playing games

under the big ol’ tree

having fun and running free

Teenage years arrived soon

but they still played together, from morning to noon

under the big ol’ tree they had fun

until the day they became one.

They are no longer friends, but lovers

kissing each other, hoping not to be discovered 

they were happy and in love

while the big ol’ tree protected them from above

Now they are both adults and today is their wedding

with the big ol’ tree’s last leaves on the ground spreading 

While the couple said the famous “yes”

their childhood years managed to come back

Then they kissed and hugged, madly in love

wanna know why there were someone shocked of this act?

because there is a thing we chose to redact!

What is the news that we never said to you?

That one is a he and the other is too.
