It's been a bit flat and murky of late
Like the country
Fixed under a cloud
That's not metaphorical
Political or arch
It's meteorological
But you know
Nudge nudge
Anyhow

But

The light and the air
This morn
Are truly a joy to behold
Like a childhood summer holiday
When the world was at peace
And all the sweet chestnuts of old

When freedom and sunshine
Stretched on endlessly
The morning telly
Exotic and grand
I think I'll turn it on now
And see if it's still there
Hopefully
ONCE UPON A TIME MAN!
