Don’t be alarmed folks
technically, it’s still summer
the kids are all out of school
while the mercury continues to rise
but up amongst the cotton wool clouds
while down below the trees are moving
in a mid summer breeze
the birds are wondering should they stay or go
Destination’s already decided
they’re headed for southern shores
way past the spanish coast
to a place where mercury still rises
The trees point their way
to a new destination
whilst the winds sail fast
in a different direction
Occasional breeze
leads them on to a purch
and in direction of the wind
they lurch.
