White Parachutes

The white little snowflakes Took their white little parachutes And hoped to reach the earth soon, soon.

But one little snowflake Stood with his parachute Afraid to jump off the moon.

"Fraid cat! Fraid cat!" The other snowflakes called to him, "See, it's easy to do!" They jumped from the white moon, And in the white parachutes Down to the earth they flew!

"Bail out! Bail out!" They called to the snowflake. Then they pushed him off because he wouldn't jump. But the earth was soft with others Of his braver little brothers, So he didn't even feel the bump!
