What I Found In The Bush by James Aitchison

Leave a comment

It was hiding in the bush,

where only eagles soar;

it was hiding in the bush,

but I could hear its distant roar.

At first I saw a stream,

it looked nothing much at all,

then farther on I walked

and found the waterfall:

plunging over lava

the massive torrent fell,

tumbling to a chasm,

it held me in its spell.

And that was when I wondered

where else could I go,

and discover more surprises

than I could ever know!

I wish that in my bathroom

I had a shower like this!

All that water tumbling —

wouldn’t it be bliss?

Cascading down my back,

in a rushing flow!

The only problem is,

where would so much water go?

I’d need a massive drainhole

to carry it away,

and one enormous tap

to turn it on each day.
