Geese

A housewife hanging out the sheets,
A policeman meandering along his beat,
Children playing in the street,
A picture of the world at ease.

Bonnet up, man repairs his motor,
A family walking, man, wife and daughter,
Hedges trimmed, lawns clipped shorter,
An image of the world at peace.

Then,

The honking is heard, and every eye,
Is raised up, all heads towards the sky,
All tasks forgotten, let them lie,
As the whole world stops for a flight of geese
