Out My Window
Out my window, scenery is the best.
The valley is spread out all before me.
I can see for miles and miles north, east and west
while close up is my lovely willow tree.
Far out in the distance there lies a lake.
Beyond that is the outline of ranges.
Halfway around the lake those mountains snake -
a giant’s disconnected phalanges!
Although fantastic is my back yard’s view,
I also love what greets me from the east.
That other window shows our avenue.
Beyond our neighborhood there lurks a beast -
a mountain green with trees where I can go,
and even now in summer I see snow.
