Do the trees really talk?

Do the trees really talk, does the wind really whistle

and how can donkeys eat dry, spiky thistles.

If it’s really the truth, do pigs fly by

how long’s your nose , if you tell a tall lie.

Is one magpie for sorrow, are two for joy

do sweet things make a girl, and bad things a boy.

If you wait for a bus for a very long time

they arrive altogether in a long line.

But across the road going the other way

there’s bus after bus for the whole of the day.

How is it a worm can be cut down the middle,

and two seconds later both halves start to wriggle.

How does a chicken without it’s head

run round for a while before it drops dead.

How can a chameleon change from green,

to brown to white so it can’t be seen.

How is it that leaves turn four shades of brown

before they let go, and fall straight to the ground.

There’s good weather , bad weather, animals and birds

the stories and tales of old I’ve heard.

I wonder as I walk along down my street

and take in the wonderful things I meet.

Wether it’s winter, Autum, , Summer or Spring.

Life is truly a wonderful thing

Some say , life is hard, some say life’s a gas

some live in the lane that goes very fast.

But, me I’m blessed with the life I lead

I’m not missing a bit of it, no indeed!
