IN the park's black pavilion I sit
The beautiful sculptured hedges stand guard
And the serene sea down below is sunlit
Silver and blue just like on a postcard.
I have come here to escape from all stress
Only the sound of birds and seagulls heard
As I enjoy the autumn sun's caress
Far from the city's ant nest so absurd.
Here there are flowerbeds and golden trees
And verdant grass where kids and dogs run free
I relax in the soft October breeze
Park as splendid as it will ever be.
But, alas, the world I must again face
So say goodbye to ghosts...who love this place.
