When it’s oh, so peaceful here
As I hum Kenny Rankin’s “Peaceful”
No chickadees chickadeeing up the trees,
No northern flickers digging in dirt,
No blackbirds chasing each other away.
Just the ducks floating by,
Just the seagulls staying low,
Just the magpies teasing the gulls,
Just two common grackles flying by,
And the west wind howling,
Shaking the sentinel trees,
Chasing this scorching summer away!
