I'm the leader

I have more sorrow
Than the octopus has arms.
We'll wait until tomorrow
When the sun sets again.

When the little squirrels
Comb through their hair
And the housefly
Follows in turn

We'll wait until the tide is low
And supper is finished
We'll all wait until that glorious time
When all of us get to bid goodbye.
