WAITING

Hanging by the quayside,

Dreamers speculate

On good ship Rosy’s whereabouts

And reasons why she’s late.

 

Fixed on one horizon,

Morning, noon and night,

Satisfied, when she arrives,

The future will be bright.

 

Merrily imagining

The treasure trove she’ll bring

While summer turns to autumn turns

To winter turns to spring…
