SIMPLICITY
When little things were very small
And no-one worried much at all
The world was wide and very kind
And no-one ever got behind
And no-one had a useless life
And no-one struggled to survive
When school and work were always done
With laughter in the dancing sun
No complicated times to keep
No nights of tossy turny sleep
The world was kind and wide and good
No shortage anywhere of food
And soft the rain on God’s good earth
And black and white the same were worth
The sea was clean the air was clear
Uncluttered skies from far to near
In field and garden,
Home and hill
Those little things are precious still.

Up and down,
It's tossy turby,
Intense emotion,
That makes things stormy,
There's love today,
Disdain tomorrow,
A moment of glee,
Followed by sorrow

Maestro at work,
the words began to hark,
the ideas flew and sparked,
and gathered in lumped groups,
near and far,
He began the art and got about them,
deftly separated grouped ideas,
into meanings and began frantically to match words,
words were found and discovered,
some carried meaning others carried almost,
it was he who pin pointed for sure,
the ideas lacked sequencing,
he did that pretty fast,
soon the garland was ready before,
church bells rang the time past,
and there was his creation,
in chosen words,
and of chosen ideas,
and conveying the target message,
satisfied that he could comprehend as much,
he went about assaying the same for his audience,
one fella fell for it flat,
and the other called it flat,
a number of them came around,
and understood meaning just about,
their light houses lighted the tossy wild waves,
he went about taming the same,
with tedium and labor,
he got it all right,
now anybody who read or heard it,
got the scenic picture behind it,
in complete full sight.
