Where is Delilah?

It's sunny, Thomas takes a walk;
Between two fences he is caught
I think I see him take the strain
Samson-like - without long mane.

It's a testing time, When We Are Six
Like Pooh, Thomas tries new tricks
The Book of Judges comes to mind ...
Is Delilah far behind?

But Isabella has no shears
Or perhaps she'd cut off ears
And anyway, she's out of sight
So Thomas still maintains his might!

Australia – rich in open spaces
Puts young Thomas through his paces
Europe - still in virus-throes
Can only dream – as parks are closed!

Here Autumn reigns so days are cool
But walks in nature after school
Show «our» Samson's rugged side
The lad takes nature in his stride!
