Why? When? Poem by Gordon David

Why should I spend Boxing Day with Them?

When Christmas Day is better

Why would I want an email or txt from them?

When I’d much prefer a letter

Why would I not want to see them again?

When I’m always on time, never late

Why should I not care about them nowadays?

When it is not me who decides their fate

Why would I want to go back there to live?

When I’ve got a new field to plough

Why should I be sitting here counting my pennies?

When you’re sitting on my cash-cow? ? ? ?
