Are You Afraid of Heights

Few of us, excluding window cleaners, And tight rope walkers, Are not afraid of heights, Yet we are all walking the tightrope, That is life, With greed on one side, And need on the other side.

Thanks Howard. I Have learnt so much from others on the soup where genuine people seem to congregate. Poetry is still a great medium to express ones thoughts. Hope your week has started well. Best regards David in NZ

Let's see now: Greed may be needy, but need is not always so greedy. ~ Hi, Wire Artist

I have actually been on my roof and not fallen off. Don't know if I would pass crane drivers test or want to clean windows in high rise. Retired now so mute point. Appreciate your comment. Fun playing with words isn't it. Cheers David in NZ
