Marching splendidly
Patrolling the room-kingdom
I leave it to stomp

It was a spider
It looked like it was stomping
I couldn't hear it

Spiders don't stomp
They scutter this way and that
Unless they wear boots

Wide awake again
Time for a camomile tea
Hope it does the trick

And have a coffee

But better days are coming
Will the world rest now?

Overcast and cold again
Longing for the sun

Fizzy sherbet in a jar,
Toffee pennies mmmmmm!
