As the predators roam about looking for prey
You the best among them, gone,
Perhaps searching for high ground

for the loony rhyme-and-rhythm men
and there's as much sunshine these days
as there's rain;

Unmatched dew-fresh Jasmine
Heavenly beauty with
Inspiring presence so divine.
...

I can forget the ice-cold indifference
of my boyhood football hero,
the dribble-king of the seventies-
my growing up days-
...

Why does she sit so close
and chat with him so? - -
Carefree, bubbly and effervescent
as if she's pouring her heart out
...
