a cracking good story
Here's to the wall flowers!
The flowers that grow through walls by bus stops and the like,
insisting colour and petal, soft and tough,
through masonry cracks.
Yes, here's to the wall flowers,
who smell the morning, while sleepy heads sleep,
and understand that in their way is only bricks and mortar.
You're having a laugh!
Green shoot and juice against mere cement -
supposedly solid, but who believes that?
So here's to the wall flowers!
Oh, and here's to the wall!
'I'm cracking up,' he says -
but seems to speak with a smile.
Because like us, he knows it's a cracking good story.
