Weightless

There was once a girl as light as feathers.

Mom and Dad had named her Heather.

She had to tie herself to trees

Or she'd be stolen by the breeze.

One day she met a man named Brock

Whose body weighed down like a rock.

And then they had a kid named Steven

Whose weight was nice, and normal, even.
