lucky core
big inside you
flannel & gold
a weave that is true

lucky bird
inside that cage
seasons have passed
and so we age

the school is lucky
the proverb is new
the lessons are tailored
exactly to you

lucky sky
soaring bird
the wind is up
songs are heard

the piano has wings
the flute has shoes
the concerts are endless
it’s better than ‘blues’

lucky heart
gentle soul
we’re all going over that hill
and into that hole

but like a game of golf
and a new pair of boots
this hole in Wonder
is a tree of many fruits

the breath is successful
in ways you can’t know
and leaves your diplomas
waiting in the snow

your world is inside
oh bubble-gum chewer
the rest of the wrappings
are flushed down the sewer

lucky song
no lips to sing
no ears to hear
but thousands of bells ring

where you began
and when you forgot
is a place called ‘home’
and a seat to be sought

so take off your shoes
and sink into soft
the clover and denim
are lining the loft

and as seaons change
so you will too
your bubble-gum will escape
through the hole in your shoe

but that ancient of places
that baby of your birth
is waiting inside you
for all that it’s worth

so wander in thunder
and swim in the rain
these seasons down under
will never happen the same way

again.
