A Special Day

Orange cars are on their way 
Pavement slabs are sinking  
Water streams in disarray
Rather I’d be drinking
But today I have no wine
And I’m short on beer
Come to share my tea with thyme
Time to take a veer
In the autumnal decay
Feeling very sober
For today’s a special day
The fifth of October
Here’s the best news of the world
Back in times of peace
Zep came out with their third 
Genesis released
Selling England, Elton John
Said goodbye to his 
Yellow road he walked upon 
Quite a date this is.
