I Changed My Mind..... Poem by RIC BASTASA

you asked for
financial help
telling me that
you are sick but
then when i asked
where your two
kids who are now
certified public
accountants you
told me that they
are in Hongkong
enjoying their
much needed vacation,
and i imagine them
now on a shopping
spree, eating their
stomachs out for
dinner in a Chinese
restaurant, having
fun in Aberdeen
and climbing their
steps up in
Victoria heights
or taking pictures
of the panda in the
park.
