Ponders the pond
Ponders the pond.
The morning washed by last nights rain
The Grebe refreshed will entertain
The Heron he signals step this way
The Coots so eager to display
The Swans they glide serenely past
I doubt a show like this will last.
I fear their correct, I cannot dwell
My thoughts soon overcome by smell
So please I urge heed my tale
Or stink for sure will prevail.
There has not been a shower
But still we know the power, of the rain
My ears are surely ringing
From that bloody man singing, I’m in pain.
He for one sure loves his voice.
But not for him the gift of choice.
As for me overcome by sound.
I try and turn this chap around.
For surely facing another way
Could bring an end to such a day
