The Park Gates Are Locked

The park workers on a go slow for higher pay The park gates are locked to motorized vehicles today But with few people in the park there are more birds for to see And Nature's Winter beauty is all around me The magpie does flute on a bare deciduous tree The chirp of the blackbird and crimson rosella the call of the pee wee In a park of few people Nature's voice is profound How lovely for to be where peace does abound Nature's unrivaled beauty for years i have admired And of singing her praises one never feels tired Yet my wonder of her only seems to grow And the more i learn of her the less of her i know i do know The park gates are locked to motorized vehicles today Due to the park workers dispute with the State Government about pay.
