Children, the Elderly and Bugs
A beautiful friend of mine said to me,
"Children, the elderly, bugs
And the most unwanted
Are the people I attract."
I told her
That the most unwanted
wants the most wanted.
Bugs are attracted to light,
And the elderly seek
A fountain of youth.
Children look up to those
Who are big in heart,
And even the beautiful
Want to be complimented
With more beauty.
So, this was her appeal
Which would attract
The whole world to her,
Even the most wanted.
