The garden green with yellow dots Was full of blue Forget-me-nots Shimmering in the early day And way above the chimney pots Kites were flying looping loops And diving through the Golden Hoops The sun began to give its heat As birds flew by in tuneful groups And now it’s coffee time for games A chance to reinvent our names With teasers puzzles laughter joy To cast aside our worldly aims

The Garden
A zebra and a brindled horse Communicated using Morse But when the wind was turning raw They changed their ways to semaphore But what’s the point the Zebra said Will friends recall us when we’re dead Or will they laugh and point a shoe And criticise the things we do Don’t get downhearted, please don’t brood Don’t spoil our lovely solitude These dots and dashes, flags and sticks Are how we get our laughs and kicks It could be worse for me and you We could be wasting in a zoo But we have got the hills and plains To gallop freely without reins And so they took themselves to bed To think about the things they’d said And banished all their equine blues By never taking off their shoes
