Intro
Story circle now is done.
Rory has one careful run.
Verse 1
One, two, three warm blankets fold.
Rory carries every roll.
Down the park path, slow and light,
To the library before night.
Chorus
Roll slow, Rory, hold them tight.
Bring the blankets home tonight.
If one corner starts to fly,
Pause and fix it by and by.
Verse 2
Rory rolls across one bump.
One cloth corner gives a jump.
Rory pauses on the track.
He will keep the blanket back.
Chorus
Roll slow, Rory, hold them tight.
Bring the blankets home tonight.
If one corner starts to fly,
Pause and fix it by and by.
Bridge
Librarian tucks the corner in.
Rory starts to roll again.
Three warm blankets, safe and neat,
Reach the library complete.
Final Chorus
Roll slow, Rory, job is done.
Every blanket, three, not one.
Gentle care along the way
Finishes the work today.
