I REMEMBER WINTER

(from my English childhood)

Windblown trees and long-lain snows.....

Ice on the pond where no lily grows.......

Needles of rain from a dull grey sky.....

Threatening clouds way up on high.....

Everything dull and dark and drear.....

Remembrances from a long-gone year.

CENTIPEDE

A Simple ABC

A centipede polished his shoes

Until they reflected the views,

But he said 'What a pain!

I must start once again!

Any wonder that I've got the blues!'
