In a land far away, where rainforests grew,
Lived a young girl who loved nature, it's true.
She'd explore every inch of the jungle so green,
But today she was feeling quite tired, it seemed.

She lay down to snooze on a bed of soft leaves,
But the jungle was too noisy for her to achieve.
The monkeys were hooting, the birds sang so loud,
She wished for some peace, a tranquil shroud.

As she closed her eyes, the rainforest came alive,
Into her dreams, she began to dive.
She saw colorful birds, and animals too,
Frolicking around in a colorful zoo.

But the best part of all, was the gentle sound,
Of the rainforest whispering, not making a sound.
The girl felt so calm, she wanted to stay,
But alas, she woke up to a noisy array.

The rainforest was buzzing, she couldn't ignore,
The creatures that lived there, she adored.
She knew she'd come back, but for now, she had to go,
She waved goodbye to the rainforest, feeling low.

But she promised herself, she'd come back to explore,
And snooze once again, on that soft leafy floor.
