The Shy WondererThe shy wonderer peered,Araid o what might happen,Reaching, grasping in the dusk,And praying in the breeze.

Twas straight, sti, sot and still,But growing through all o time,Opening out in twilight,Still swaying sot and calm.

Where was peace? Was it here?The dew the grass and water,Just maybe this could be change,But no!Theres always been this peace.

Beautiul is this place,Red, yellow, green and orange,The place is changing, dancing,The wonderer is ree!

The Sound Collectorby Roger McGough

A stranger called this morning

Dressed all in black and grey

Put every sound into a bag

And carried it away

The whistling o the kettle

The turning o the lock

The purring o the kitten

The ticking o the clock

The popping o the toaster

The crunching o the akes

When you spread the marmalade

The scraping noise it makes

The hissing o the rying pan

The ticking o the grill

The bubbling o the bath tub

As it starts to ll

The drumming o the raindrops

On the window pane

When you do the washing up

The gurgle o the drain

The crying o the baby

The squeaking o the chair

The swishing o the curtain

The creaking o the stair

A stranger called this morning

He didnt leave his name

Let us only silence

Lie will never be the same
