Nature’s Windy Thunder-dome
Today, I’m cosily inhabiting home
Sheltering from Nature’s windy thunder-dome
Here, with Frankie and Alex, the garden gnome
Everything outside is turning monochrome
And it is too dangerous to sail at the aerodrome
So, here I am drafting some new poems

Good idea to hunker in and write poetry, Ivor. Love the music video. Could be my theme song at the moment.
