The Tin Forest
Written by Helen Ward
There was once a wide windswept place,
near nowhere and close to forgotten, that
was filled with all the things that no one
wanted.
Right in the middle was a small house,
with small windows, that looked out on
other people's rubbish and bad weather.
In the house lived and old man.
Every day he tried to tidy away the
rubbish, sifting and sorting, burning and
burying.
And every night the old man dreamed.
