first length:
he cast the spells well
and made of his house a ship
and he fashioned an iron bell
for there's many a slip
twixt the cup and the lip
and he took to the seas of fate
and sailed himself - far away
so that when the great lifestorms struck the world
his friends would have somewhere to stay
if only they could swim
ii:
it's still clear, and cold
there was wind yesterday
at this time
cold and gusty
it doesn't mean there will be wind today
bode that good or ill
but it makes me hope for it, being human as I am
as i am,
very still,
clear and cold
2009 Peter Greene.
