Analysis of A Little Mine Cave
3 Little Men
in the days of old,
were trapped in a mineshaft
all in search of Gold
All of them were in love
with all the people who were above
now that they were trapped,
their little hearts had snapped
They Laughed,They Cried
to escape, they tried
but to escape, twas in vain
for all of their pain
They slowly breathed
so they wouldn't die
but when the people above saw the truth
they then began to cry
Finally the mine opened,
so they could escape,
But when the people looked inside
They found they were too late
