RECIPROCITY

When I am walking down the street

I smile at everyone I meet.

Sometimes they smile right back at me

And that is reciprocity, and rather sweet.

*

But sometimes, as I walk to town

My smile is answered with a frown

Or else a look that's really sour,

A look that one could call a glower! That gets me down.

RAIN SONG

Today was damp and draggly;

The rain came mizzling down.

Not much colour anywhere;

Nature wore a frown.

And then a flock of lorikeets

Came swooping down to feed!

Red and green and yellow too!

A welcome sight indeed!
