Red Parasol
Peace and quiet and dignity.
Bring me peace, tranquillity
With seagulls skimming silent sea
Lapping waves that softly flap
I will have a piece of that
Not for me the noise of town
But rocks of grey and sand of brown
Soft breeze that blows through petticoat
And pushes gently sail boat
To sit and speak and laugh away
I will take this any day
It will be time to go home soon
Back to the drudginous and gloom
Of City life.
