As Two Galleons
Stately as Joyce Grenfell
We glide across the pool
Heads on high, hair kept dry
Onward the ceaseless chat
No ruffling the water
Barely a low-key splash
Not ladylike to strive
Seamless the ceaseless chat
We talk of birds, of swifts
Swallows which dive and swoop
Butterflies and hawk moths
All in the ceaseless chat
Gently now we exit
Tiptoeing up the steps
Friends apart, catching up
Loving the ceaseless chat
