I don’t just write quizzes, you know. I am also an accomplished poet.
Here’s one I wrote at 5 o clock this morning:
==============
ALL HUMAN LIFE
==============
Whether you’re a baby, Chinese or gay,
There something in each of our D.N.A.
The eternal drama
The timeless Jackanory
The endless, fantastic human story
From Cleopatra
To Marvin from ‘The Scheme’
Each one of us has carried
The sapiens dream.
Some of us live,
All of us die
Some raise children
Some eat pies
Warmongers, fishmongers,
models and thieves,
The roles you can find
Are as many as leaves.
But one day we will all die for sure
And the Earth will return to being pure
We’ll all be gone,
All forgotten:
Mary Whitehouse and Johnny Rotten,
Sledging to eternity in a time toboggan.
