A Very English Poem

The daffodils are never flattened by tornados, the little lambs always enjoy a pleasant Spring, and oft they giddily gambol. The sun is not too warm nor cool, the sky steadfastly blue. Wordsworth took a walk and wrote yet another pleasing poem regarding the green grass and softly rolling emerald hills - no mention of rainstorms or hurricanes. In America, we read of such pleasant, pastoral perfections, but most, sensibly, refuse to believe them.

William Wordsworth wrote idyllic pastoral pieces that charm and live on. A poetic hero. Sensibly??? :o))
