"More Memories of Rural Life"




Lobo, good boy’s dog
Towing my son up and down
The flooded clay-pit

Lobo, water dog
Only her head showing
Surrounded by shiver ripples

Happiness for a boy
His very own dog
And a litter of puppies
We had a great zip line
Something for the kids to play on
Health and Safety… moi?

By January
Even a flooded hoof print
Would be full of frog spawn

There were wild orchids
Growing in the summer grass
Protecting thousands of tiny frogs

Guy Fawks night bonfires
A years brush-wood up in smoke
The guy, a witch, a dragon, a masterpiece
