Julian Date. Poet

Whilst doing the rounds of my favourite blogs I was introduced to the poetry of Julian Date by Mr. Webster at The Pavilion of Innocent Pastimes.
(A blog any right-thinking person should visit on a regular basis if only to encourage Mr. Webster to post more often.)

Here are Mr. Date's musings on the Skylark:

THE SKYLARK

As I wandered through our park,
I chanced upon a lone skylark.
It flew straight up into the sky
(Though I have no notion why),
And burst into a sombre song,
Which seemed to go on far too long.

Boy, that hits the nail on the head and no mistake.
