Thewarming of the Planet
The warming planet
In the heat of summers
it was nice to bathe in the river
ten minutes from the houses.
A great place to cool off
Not crowded by tourists.

And physically perfect
Diving from the branches
Of the generous oak.

The river, near the houses
Were dry for years
In the fifties.
