snake in a lake
I am less lazy now
swimming to shore

She loves me, she loves me not,
Puffing away at a Dandelion clock
On a timeless breathless afternoon
In a lush green Lambwaths paddock.
Six endless weeks of summer holiday
Somehow suddenly drawing to an end,
One of the last days of our last week
Enjoying my hours with my old friend.
Next week the last school year starts,
Life changing decisions to be made,
Some staying in the academic world
Most, like me, into work, maybe trade.
So this special afternoon of this week
The last long holiday most will know
Puffing at the Dandelion clock hoping
Just for a while time will gently slow
Knowing this special afternoon
With this special friend
Marks the start of the months
Bringing childhood to an end,
A long frenzied year that from
Its slow but inevitable start
Will change our directions
And force our lives to part.
The summer sun’s lazy heat,
The murmuring little stream,
Inducing a pleasant state
Almost like a living, waking dream.
She loves me, she loves me not
Both more than just a little sad
As our dandelion clocks count
Down to the loss of what we’d had.

The two yellow jackets lazily lay
Upon the chilled turnip leaf
This November autumnial day
Waiting to be warmed in the noon day sun
Maybe they're in love hoping above hope
To be spared many eggs somewhere to lay
New life to come next spring_ summer in scope
Sometimes yellow jackets mix in raked hay
Where their nest was disturbed on a fall eve
By tractors with blades that cut luscious grass
Then are caught in spinning baler in weave
That makes them so mad they come out fighting
Two yellow jackets lazily lay waiting
Glad there is a chance for them this day_mating
