Did I Shoo a Child Away Today

	Did I shoo a child away today
           much as I’d shoo a fly
           
        Or was it my wife who said hello 
           ~ that I’ve just turned to goodbye

Frightening I know. I have that in my family genes. Fight to hold on to your mind my friend. Squid of honey does help.
