In the country

In the country it’s plain to see
That life is much better, than living on the street

The pheasants that daunder across the farm lane
Oblivious of time and car wheels that await them!

In wintertime it’s much colder than cold!
Though sunset and sunrise a joy to behold

Horses as neighbours a beautiful sight
Frogs and bats visit late at night

Butterflies and bees, in abundance, add colour
Though spiders are bigger and midgies a bother!

The peace and tranquility is a treat to be savoured
But the mice in your bedroom can give you the shivers!

From the birthing of lambs, to the deer that prance close
The smell of pure air and the friendliest of folks

The stars that are brighter and the moon that’s so bold
In the country with loved ones, my mountain of gold.
