Do you suppose the earth is round?
do you suppose all birds make the same sound?
to know we need evidence
i met an old woman the other day
she was a wriggly old thing sitting by the bay
I'm sure she's never known how to use e-bay
she had a camera and was staring,
staring at the last ray of the sunset

somewhere in the mist of her thoughts
she spoke to me of how wonderful nature is
how every living thing strife to survive
to evolve and exist and keep on existing
That was her evidence
I guess we have to live long enough
to see the world in a different perspective
to that i was nonobjective

she stood up and bid me farewell
after our conversation
and left me to my thoughts
i took a deep breath calmed my thoughts
and spoke quietly to myself
what a wise old woman
