Ridges of red and gray outlined the whole sky
Expressing with their dumb tongues, the greatness on high
The city looked drab ere the lights began to twinkle
It appeared to be on the earth’s face – a gray, and anticipated wrinkle.
Activity was sparse, especially since it was Sunday
Which is now universally accepted as a fun day
Crowds jostled each other at theatres and at beaches
Whilst some relaxed at home, and ate apples and peaches
It was a clear and calm day with brightness all around
A day, which in a week, is only once but found
When joy and happiness prevails, and a well-earned rest is got
When you can cool the temper that had all along been hot –
With a lolly in your hand
And a smile on your face
You stroll along the beach
At a very leisurely pace
Throwing into the sea
The misery and gloom In your heart
And quicken up your steps
To make a fresh start…
