Squall, 1986, by Andrew Wyeth
On a lovely blustery Pooh day
With the wind whipping around
Bundled up we took a brisk walk
To see what might have fallen down
With the wind at our back
And our eyes on the ground
We almost missed that piece of sky
A remnant of a birthday now
Pinioned to a tree unable to fly
With the wind at our back
And our eyes on the ground
We almost missed that piece of sky
A remnant of a birthday now
Pinioned to a tree unable to fly
