In the park a large husky on his lead pulls.
I see an old couple in their winter wools.
I see a school mini bus and an Asda truck.
A lad tries to cross the road, having no luck.

A jogger races by with a mop of silver hair.
That lad took a chance and is finally there!
The sky is beautiful, more blue than grey.
A few dark clouds are getting chased away.

A familiar fella passes by, in grey peak cap.
As a school boy decides it's time to unwrap!
The seventeen bus is full of disguised faces.
The lights turn green, away the traffic races.

In the corner of Stanley Park, still a white tent.
A sad reminder to us all of our current lament.
A motor bike roars by, leaving all in his wake.
Some kind of speed record, I think he'll make!

On the park bench, two walkers stop to talk.
While more dogs enjoy their Stanley Park walk.
On her phone a young lady takes a selfie or two.
From Highclere House today, that was my view!
