SILVER TAILS

When your hair has turned to silver

And the summer breezes blow

Off you float on the summer air!

What a way to go! 

Glinting in the sunbeams,

Fading out of sight,

Twinkling, even as you fade

Into never-ending night.

JOY FLIGHT!

We went on a joy-flight one fine day,

My birthday as I recall.

We said we'd fly over Nelson Bay

So we could see it all.

We swooped up into a dazzling blue,

Happy to be on high,

Heading for the Peninsula

To view it from the sky.

A place of scenic beauty,

With hills and woods and bays,

And other charming landmarks,

We were hoping would amaze.

Then we heard the pilot's voice

'When I'm looking up ahead

I see storm clouds over Nelson Bay;

We'll just go home instead.'

So here see the clouds a-rolling in,

Spoil-sports everyone,

Waiting for my birthday

So they could spoil the fun.
