Waiting For You

BLUE MONDAY

WAITING FOR YOU

And oh the blueness of it all

As the cruise-ship drifts on by!

Blue chairs in a neat regimented row ,

Blue sea, blue land, blue sky.

Who could be blue on such a day?

Take your seat, and sail away.

SHARING

(For Cheryl Cato)

Tell me what you see, old friend

And I'll tell you what I hear.

Without my eyes the world of sound

Has become very dear.

You give an insistent tug on my lead

And I go wherever you say;

To the river, the beach, or just to the shops.

Where are we going today?

Oh, it's a surprise! Well, that is fun.

When we get there I'll make a guess.

Having a friend like you, old pal,

Makes a game of my distress.

I hear laughing children on the breeze;

You tell me you see them playing.

I hear the rustle of some leaves;

You describe the branches swaying!

We're in the park! That's where we are!

Ah! Now I smell the roses!

Let's both use the  sense that we can share!

Come on! It's time for noses!
