Spring is....... by Lawrence Brophy

One lovely plant blowing across the beach
Two old ants walking across the grass
Three sweet fish jumping over the water
Four nice frogs leaping under a blooming flower
Five crazy ducks swimming in the pool
Six black bats flying towards the animals
Seven yellow flowers swaying to the music of the wind
Eight large people sleeping near the pond
Nine perfect lambs bounding past the leaves
Ten mad bumblebees flying at the beach

Kickabout

I sat in my favourite seat sipping my special schnapp
when suddenly there came running past me a group of children chasing a red football as if their life depended on it.
Around the corner I could see housewives gathering around whispering in conniving gatherings
husbands boasting about the incredibility of their financial muscles

Alas, I told myself, I used to chase life with as much vitality
but I have moved onto more important things,
sitting all day, watching the sun rise in the east and set in the west

My eyes light up as I realized, this is the reason they say wisdom
comes with age.
