What the Drunken Farmer Said

What the Drunken Farmer Said

 

Can you hear her, directly overhead

she sounds just like an angel singing ..

 

But it is just a skylark son, or so the

bloomin drunken farmer said ..

 

Can you see her, directly overhead

such a tiny speck up small and high ..

 

She looks just like a floater surfing

across the surface of an eye ..

 

But no, it’s just a bloomin skylark son

or so the drunken farmer said ..

I enjoy your clever storytelling ability. It truly is a skill and one I admire. I imagine reading this from an old book of poems sitting on a dusty shelf. Great writing Neville.
