Get-Together Poem by Barry Pitman

A gathering of three is not much to see,
But marvel at the things that they say,
Giving a blast to the ills of the past
And the habits that get in the way.

To speak from the heart is a feminine art
With intentions and meaning benign,
But try as you might to make all things right
We are blocked by the habits if time.

Never give in, we must daily begin
To unravel the mysteries of life.
Be a go-getter to make all things better,
And battle with unpleasant strife.

So drink up your tea, be determined to be
An author of marvellous change,
And don't be distracted by wrongs re-enacted
Or behaviour's incredible range.

Just one other thing before you begin,
Before you enter the fight.
You'll need to be tough. The going is rough.
You might rather sleep soundly at night.
