A Good Boy - Rls Mark Ii

RLS Mark II - A Good Boy Grown Woke before morning, happy all day, Never said an ugly word, smiled - played And now the sun goes down -hovers low And I'm quite content, for I do know - That morning shall see the sun arise No bad dream shall fright my mind, or eyes Sleep holds me tight no tossing - turning Wake - refreshed - wash, shave, eat - but knowing Work is play - feeds my tribe a-growing* *Stolen from Robert Louis Stevenson's "A Good Boy" - - Mathematics&Poetry - based on a mathematical square: the number of syllables in a line equals the number of lines.
