The Circle Game . . . Joni Mitchell

I have missed the fluffy duckling stage and now these young Paradise Ducks are getting their adult feathers.  Soon after this they scattered when two eels cruised up to them.  Good to see a brood of six has survived.  
This morning I watched the rugy NZ V France.  A good game which went to France by one point.  

 . . . And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game
