Alfie was a bug
A cute, green little bug
He found himself in a great big office
Full of plants and white noise
And men and women in suits
Yes Alfie had the good life…
But he missed his home in the trees
He ended up at a young man’s desk
Micah was his name
And Micah found a ruler
And placed it under Alfie’s little feet
For him to stand on
And because Micah had somewhere to be
He brought Alfie to me
And Alfie crawled back and forth
Looking for a tree
But there was not one to be found
So I along with all my office friends
Decided that Alfie should go back home
You should have seen his excitement!
As I carried the ruler downstairs
Through the parking deck
And down to the floor
Then suddenly, there was a swoooosh!
And Alfie used his wings to fly away
And was with us no more
Yes Alfie we will remember you fondly
How for one brief moment you stopped an entire office
With your cool little green wings
And burned us all a memory
Of more important things
That our lives are meant for so much more
Than office chairs and suits and ties
And that we will all get to fly away
Into freedom in the sky
