Picnic

Picnic by the sea: 

Deep peace of the rolling waves

On the golden sand.

And how he spoke with no regrets. 

 

Words that echoed so sublime, 

Sounding out without a care:

Life's too short to waste your time

Crying over answered prayers.

A Three-chord Song

You won't find my records

On a shelf at HMV, 

But you don't have to pay because

The amber in the porcelain.  
 
Just set your kettle on the stove, 
To boil the water up, 
Brew it in a china pot, 
And serve it in a china cup.  
 
For several minutes (three...

By the inglenook.
