Rock

I’m a rock.
They think that I have a family,
But I’m a rock.
They think that I have a family,
But I’m a rock.
True, I feel wind and weather,
But I’m a rock.
Want to know where I came from?
I would tell you–
But I’m a rock.
I might have come from a volcano,
But I have no brain
To remember because
I’m a rock.
It looks like I have a human nose, but
I smell nothing because
I AM A ROCK.
