Near college quads of academe on kennet banks I gently dream
of endless coffee - freshly brewed Polly Tearooms - cups renewed.
Snatching briefly wistful hour creamy cakes and scones devour
having walked the lengthy street fellow scholars warmly greet.
I hear a chuckle from Sir John time, they say, now marches on
through slyvan groves to Savernake by Wiltshire bus - all crimson lake.
I will explore the country lanes and churches with their weathervane's
catching sounds of evensong borne on the wind - October strong.

The Polly in Winter
The snow sprinkles over the flat roof
and like icing through a seive flying gently
on some hot mince pies
and the soft wind whispers softly
winter at the polly
winter at the polly
nothing more
nothing less
lovely saches on a dress
winter at the polly
Snow men act like the little figures on the iced cake
in the show window
and the soft wind whispers softly
winter at the polly
winter at the polly
nothing more
nothing less
lovely saches on a dress
winter at the polly
The snow swirls round in the wind like the cake
mixture being mixed round in a bowl
and the soft wind whispers softly
winter at the polly
winter at the polly
nothing more
nothing less
lovely saches on a dress
winter at the polly
The steam from the mince pies rises to kiss the sky
like the frosty steam from the hard ground
and the soft wind whispers softly
winter at the polly
winter at the polly
nothing more
nothing less
lovely saches on a dress
winter at the polly
