For Everyone

For everyone a last Winter, Spring, Summer and a last Fall
And a last night and day is ahead of us all
No matter what you achieve in life for you it will be the same
As the one who dies without a penny to his or her name

Humility Is Not The In Thing

Humility is not an in thing of the Human World of today
Nor neither is lack of arrogance it would be true to say

Ignorance Can Be Bliss

To create more room for buildings in the busy progressive town
They buy land expensive for to buy for their workers to cut the trees and bushes down

The Newly Elected President

The newly elected President of the U S of A

So Let Us Hear It For Women

Let us hear it for women a rousing hooray
The unsung heroines of the Human World of today
For equal work to men most of them not paid equal pay
In a fair Human World it would not be this way

On Radio This Evening

On radio this evening i heard a well known poet
Give his views on a major writer and one unworthy of literary note

But each to their own one must suppose is how it ought to be
