Dawn of a new day

As my husband woke up early this morning to the sound of the jack hammer removing the valley along the Wadi Sakra road, I asked him for a quote for the day - but here are his thoughts:

"The tree is tall
My wife went to the Mall
Life is a ball
Boucing and echoing in an empty hall ...."

and then he adds:

"can somebody please put on my head this bloody shawl
so that I don't continue to see Gaza's fall and
Baghdad's hole in the wall"
