A Coveted Bench
A coveted bench in the shade,
In my world, means that I’ve got it made,
For tomorrow will be, I’m afraid,
Much too hot, so I wouldn’t have stayed.
But today, I can watch the parade
On the river, as boats are displayed
And attention, of course, must be paid,
To the pigeons, who visit, dismayed
That I offer no crumbs in a trade.
Still, I hope, as my rhymes start to fade,
That my writing has somehow conveyed
Just how peaceful is all I’ve surveyed.
