Moaning

I see the sky it’s so blue,

There again my mind is too.

Should I have gone somewhere?

Or is it just this cold, cold air?

Is the sun a thing of the past?

Will the summer never last?

In the autumn it’s so great

We can all stay up late.

With the spring it brings

The lasting things.

Like the bee that stings,

The insects that bite.

It makes me look such

A sight.

 

Cows

Cows are quite malodorous

Sometimes quite tedious,

But never hideous, they are

Slow, but never fast, they are

Never in a rush, and yet they

Provide their milk for us.

 

Did we?

Didn’t we do well to tackle global warming?

Didn’t we do well to educate our children?

Didn’t we do well to tackle the war head on?

Didn’t we do well to stop animals being killed?

Didn’t we do well to stop drug use?

Didn’t we do well to give the police full power?

But did we do well in all or some of these things??

 

Insight

The trees are green.

The prettiest colour

You’ve ever seen.

The sky is blue,

Do you think that will

Suit you?

The daffodils are yellow.

This colour makes you

Feel all mellow.

The waves are white.

This shows up at night.

Roses are red,

But they don’t make us

Feel full of dread.

Our eyes are green, grey,

Brown or blue.

Something we can look through.

 

It Was Meant

Thank God we have all our dreams.

Thank God for our flowers and streams.

Thank God above for all my love.

I know it goes beyond and above.

I met you and you met me

While we were out at sea.

I said you’re my moon and stars,

You said you’re my Jupiter and Mars.

We both knew this was meant to be.

So now I have you and you’ve got me.

 

Moles

When spring comes around

You’ll hear the sweet sounds.

We hear all the birds sing.

Yes, we know when it’s spring.

We hear all bells chime,

And see the harvest time.

All the flowers bloom.

We see a bride and groom.

You’ll gather the hay

On a bright warm day.

When it’s cold and wet

We know winter is set.

There’s snow and ice,

It’s not always so nice.

Our climate has changed,

It’s such a shame.

No time for fun and games.

Time to burrow again.

We’ll dig lots of holes,

As you see - we are moles.

 

These are for You

Old, young or middle aged,

Married, single or engaged.

Able or disabled.

On walking sticks

Or in Wheelchair.

Fast or slow.

Our steps are low.

Our buses are for everyone.

Kids alone or with their mum.
