In a week of stormy weather 
nature gifts us the greatest shows
Bare branches and trees dance and sway 
in the buffeting, gusty blows

The wild wind plays a symphony
drumstick twigs scatter on the ground 
The grumbling storm rumbles on
to the tune of the thrumming sound 

We take the best seats in the house
wrapped up indoors, warm and cosy 
A brave Robin takes centre stage
the ringmaster red and rosy 

Backdropped by the darkest of skies 
a moody, fifty shades of grey
He performs his grand finale 
the star of the greatest show today
