Today I walked along the road
where in the middle sat a toad.
Approaching him to goad
that fateful toad off the road
...
I met an old farmworker today
fixing a fence in his old way.
He spoke to me and said 'Good day,
rains a-coming, ' he did speak
...
I wait near bus stop
but dark clouds appear.
Soon the rain will suddenly lash.
All at once Jasper decides to have a slash,
...
Of ancient land full of corn
to my heart where I was born.
The wind whispers in fields of corn
ushering across, swaying and swishing
...
He looks across fields of corn
with rustling trees in early morn.
Thru his eyes he stares and stares
but I don't see anything there.
...
Of days of old
when I was a lad
of summers fields
I was so glad.
...
I see a tern
with energy to burn
pluck a fish
off boat astern
...
He walks along so slow.
A pleasure to see Jasper
so free.
No care in the world
...
