Why Do I Feel So High

Why do I feel so high Well I live up in the sky Amongst the stars and moon I love Listen awhile and I’ll tell you why On waking each day I enjoy gazing out Views I behold make me scream and shout It’s such a joy living way up high So safe and secure no need to go out I watch the birds as they pass me by Wishing my wings would open and fly I would love to soar above the clouds Though too risky methinks, as I might die To watch the sunrise is a daily miracle And that is why I am waxing lyrical For each day is different the colour and the hue Of the newly risen sun so spherical To witness the full moon in all of its glory Ever changing, the moon so transitory As I view through binoculars the surface I see Is there life on the moon, but that’s another story The reason I’m living right up in the sky Is my penthouse apartment, how lucky am I With balconies facing in every direction I catch the first snowflake when it floats from up high Feeling the moisture from the very first raindrop As it lands on my head with a wonderful kerplop Though seagulls with an upset tum are not a welcome sight So I sit beneath my parasol or else I’ll cop the lot Contest ALL YOURS (FEB26) Sponsor Brian Strand
