To be on this hill is my dream Standing tall and looking out over the sea. My telescope extended to its fullest reach Is that a boat I spy ? Or is it a large herring gull in majestic flight ? The wind whips my large ears The grass is wet with spray But I stand here on the edge of the cliff And survey the view
Emily wanted to come But she is poorly Poor thing has the flu
So I stand against the elements alone Proud to be here on this mighty hill This almost mountain by the azure Which on sunny days sees picnics and games But on these blustery December mornings Sees just me, in great coat and scarf Screaming in unison with the elements And turning in dizzy circles with face upwards to the clouds Laughing and screaming with intense delight
For it is a good thing To scream And Shout Some times
Poor Emily At home with her fever While I enjoy the thrust of the mighty ocean The thwack of the Westerly gale aginst my ruddy face The drenching from the persistent rain And the cold cold feelings in my heart The ice stone at the core of my being that Prevents me from breaking free from this infernal hill And making something of myself in the city Like Moz has
Trudge home poor boy And see to your aching wife Think not of these things Make the tea Go on Make the damn tea Yes I will make the tea The zen of tea making Its all I need Joy is back
