The Healer

The healer Do you remember the night when? The floodlight came on as we sat by the riverside? You said you loved me and I quickly said ditto, A joke you didn’t appreciate. Mosquitoes flew like silent angles through air In the mimosa night and the home, the team lost Three to one. The dance music on the radio got a silent tone While the trout waked in the knowledge I had Not brought fishing tackle. And trees fell to the ground The castors were hard at work. Never mind, it was long ago the fish and you have gone And the river is polluted. But it will be better since the saga queen Greta came And healed the world.
