Wet Rock

Out of the rain into the cave

In this mountain paradise we play

Penelope and me, no worries and no cares

As the wind blows softly through our hair

The dark, cool cave is a nice retreat

From the sweltering Summer and the boiling heat

From our point of view, it is going to rain

Who knows when we might come out again

For now, Penny and I are happy as can be

Sitting in its cool darkness, her and me

Gazing at cave paintings from a long time ago

Wet with rain from head to toe

The cave is our sanctuary, a cool, comfortable place

Away from the dangers we must face

Painting with ochre and hand painting the walls

We quickly realise Summer's turning to fall

With Autumn around, we stay in our cave

I know someday that I have to be brave...
