Moved and powered by the unseen breeze
we have all watched the growth of these plastic trees
their service to humanity I have no doubt
as they quietly wave their arms about
but the burning question we all can see
should they be planted on land or in sea
some think the former is a blight
while others think them a wonderful sight
whilst those who enjoy a coastal scene
tend to think of them as quite obscene
but all can agree their purpose is sound
to keep oil and coal safely in the ground.

A combine does it’s plotted round
leaves no waste upon the ground
to maintain our world of plenty
whilst my crop remains empty
no butterfly, aphid or bee
to feed my hungry family
I remember horses in the yard
their days were long, often hard
cutting the corn at stately pace
to feed the growing human race
now I fear those halcyon days
will be lost forever in the haze
of time, imprinted on our memory
just a sad but too familiar story

with pennants flying proudly
see how tall they stand
not quite in the water
nor fully on the land
standing straight-backed in the sun
like a regimental band.

we witness the Northern lights

In many houses throughout this land
whether they may be poor or grand
is practised with each new day a ritual
that would now be seen as habitual
as while you are sitting quite alone
you could just as easily grab the phone
yet over breakfast in the morning
or often as the day is dawning
sometimes even while still in bed
the daily newspaper will be read

Take a look at this lovely pony
it’s obvious he is feeling lonely
he knows if he squeezed through the fence
he’d be able to meet new friends
but for now he will just stand and sigh
as he sadly watches each passer-by

Just one sign of life
answers an age old question
yet gains us nothing

When apple blossom
is a riot of colour
Spring scent fills the air

Let your imagination leap
and picture me as I mumble
Sir I am ever so humble
seen as the archetypal creep
I am of course Uriah Heep
Of all the books that you have read
this man will stick within your head
but if we look inside his mind
we gain insight into mankind
no better trait needs to be said.
