Percy Sledge playing over the rooftops
Guinne pigs in the run,
Police sirens ring out in the background
So you know some ones time has come !
The poplars leaves sing a song in the breeze
Like ocean waves rolling in
While the ice cream van roles down the road
With chimes o so luring ,
The cats in the long grass
Birds are flocking in the tree,
Waiting to see who will make the run to the feeder
each one thinking not me !
A plane flies over drowning out all sound,
The cats now in the corner on the fence
Hoping to get through Without going round,
Then the dog runs out , the cat jumps up
The guinne pigs all make a squeal
The cat next door thinks he's been spotted
so quickly takes to his heals,
Whilst all this is happening i sit back in my chair
And take in the world around me,
And think to myself
IF WE DON'T WATCH OUT , WE COULD EASILY LOOSE THIS BEAUTY THAT SURROUNDS ME !
