Discarded like garbage
Because we act like we all savage

False omens like eclipses
Fake prophecies
They packed their bags for those ill fated...

The morn's alive with skylarks singing

o'er the greening meadow and the pliant pasture,

Arabella’s 18th birthday
Darling granddaughter of mine
A special treat

From window beside her, moon shed some shine
The day stood long to finish pending work in...

Panting, running, paying, fuming,
Bumping, swearing, hurrying, driving,
All because today is the thirty first
Of the month, why are we all nigh to burst!

The dry cleaners, the florist, the baker,
