One Shy of a Dozen Thoughts Why
\nby cricketjeff on June 26, 2017.\u00a0 \u00a9 Jeff Green, All rights reserved
\nIt’s the music of leather on willow
\nAs the ball leads the men in the chase
\nIt’s the sun on her hair on the pillow
\nAs the sun paints fresh gold on her face
\nIt is not being cold in the rain
\nAlthough sunburn can be quite a pain …<\/p>\n
It’s an ice-cream that melts on your tongue
\nAs you walk hand in hand in the park
\nAnd the knowledge you’re still fairly young
\nWhen she’s still by your side in the dark
\nIt’s a picnic with scones by a stream
\nAnd a doze in the sun with a dream<\/p>\n
It’s the girls from the office next door
\nWho are dressed in far less than seems right
\nTo a bad tempered joyless old bore
\nWho’d love to deprive us the sight
\nIt’s the proms at the Royal Albert Hall
\nAnd a stroll on the top of a wall<\/p>\n
It’s a candyfloss snack by the sea
\nAt the end of a beautiful day
\nIt’s lamb chops and a nice cup of tea
\nAt a pub that we passed on the way
\nOne shy of a dozen thoughts why
\nThe summer’s my season to fly<\/p>\n
