One, mountains that look

Quite pretty from your window

Are a mere white line on your phone.

Two, people in hot countries far away

Are not amused at being shown

Mountains on FaceTime. Three,

If you have slippers, socks, and a puppy

Eventually they will all lie crumpled

And sodden on the balcony. Four,

If you’ve learnt much more,

Set it aside for tomorrow, so that

Each full day may lend its fullness

For a still empty day to borrow.
