๐ŸŽถ What a Wonderful World! ๐ŸŽถ

Despite having my Rock Running tracks on my phone this morning, I seemed to have the great Satchmo (Louis Armstrong) with me on my run as this was singing round my head to the tune of "Wonderful World".

Iโ€™ve seen trees of green,

And buddleia too.

The clouds they are grey,

The sunโ€™s trying to shine through,

And I think to myself,

What a wonderful world.

๐ŸŒณ

The morningโ€™s fine,

The air is quite chill.

But running along

Makes me a warm Gill.

And I think to myself,

What a wonderful run.

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

I pass the bridge,

The sewage works too.

The countrysideโ€™s great

But the air smells of poo.

But I think to myself,

What a wonderful world,

Yes I think to myself, what a wonderful run.

๐ŸŒค๏ธ

The sun is coming out now,

So pretty in the sky,

Itโ€™s shining on the faces

Of other joggers passing by.

There are pairs running on

And solo runners too,

I manage to say, โ€œGood morning to you.โ€

โ˜๏ธ

I see clouds of white

And skies of blue

The sun is so bright

It sparkles on dew,

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world.

Yes I think to myself, what a wonderful run.

Great version of a wonderful song - it's always made me shed a tear. Read your lines to the tune in my head, and they fit! A runner AND a poet, Razouski - talented woman.
