Читать книгу Periodic Poetry - Gregory J. McKenzie - Страница 6

It begins in the schoolyard backed in a corner,

The survival response is to say "I warn ya".

Bluffing your way out of conflicts that mount,

Until the day comes when you only lose count.

Out into a workplace you go unaware,

Sure that good references are always there.

Avoiding bullies and the hurtful put down,

Determined yet to conquer old Sydney town.

Marriage may come into your life but too late,

Home problems work stress leaving no time to mate.

The demands of long hours working in a city

Losing valuable social time mores the pity.

Near the end of life you seek wonders to see,

The world stares back to say just try me.
