for when they meet me
I seem a happy-go-lucky guy.
What they don’t realize
is that all my friends

There are no hugs at my doorway
or special greeting when special seasons come.
Only sadness adorns my face.
One day hopefully that will change,
but I will have to wait and see.

Four wheels to take you anywhere.
But woe be tide,if anything goes wrong.Its grace falls foul,and you sing another song.Just like a woman,I’ve often heard this said.For on frosty nights,you’ve got to wrap it up warm for bed.14 Nov 1978
