The clock ticks only forwards
As we fall into the year,
The ups and downs and straight bits
In the hills round here.
A great bird came to visit
And seemed willing just to stay
As people came and watched it
More and more each day.
But as the days got shorter
And things began to spike,
The vulture headed homewards:
It would be quite a hike.
Oh dear and brilliant creature
We’re glad you came our way,
And wish you flying Eastwards
A safe and happy day.
