Swanning Around

SWANNING AROUND

The city of Perth in Australia is the world's remotest city.

And, as it's well-worth visiting, that fact is rather a pity.

It's the only city to be seen from Space in absolute isolation;

All the others merge their lights and become one destination,

But the lights of Perth, in a sea of black, shine out like a star,

Because all other cities are away so very far.

This is the great Swan River, flowing on into the sea.

And there we stopped to meet a friend and share a cup of tea.

WHAT A BUZZ!

Are you a bumble-bee? Are you a car?
I don't care whatever you are!
In one way or another I'll drive or fly
To the end of the earth or the top of the sky!
Everything's possible, don't you know!
It's only the grown-ups who tell us 'No!'
I'll be sure of so many things
Till boring grownups clip my wings!
