Above the hills the billowing towers
white with darker centres climbing
higher as the day gives way to evening
their dense darkness mirrors its glower
Higher still their edges smooth and level
while the heavy air though now less warm
a sign of approaching thunderstorm
and they will soon assume the familiar anvil.

Walking through the woods today
on a branch I spied a jay
it was nice to see this colourful bird
as they are seldom seen but often heard
as they hop across the forest floor
collecting acorns for their Winter store
like their cousin the common magpie
their plumage truly delights the eye
unlike the jackdaw, crow or rook
all barely worth a second look
but now having such beauty seen
I felt enraptured as in a dream.

Have you heard of the emperor Caligula
A Roman who was born with tastes most peculiar
Reputedly his court was very salacious
Indulging in practices suiting those most rapacious
His people knew that he was around the bend
And eventually he came to an inglorious end.
