Kilburn
thank you
" its a long way '' Carl Samberg
as I often tell
my wife
of half a hundred years
we lived here , together ,
in life and strife
struggling to be
who or what we are
we came as immigrants
not knowing what
was up ,
or down the road
Umpteen hours
more or less
i worked
to impress
i guess
my boss
back to the wall
was my goal
i reached as
off the plane i fell
and started on my way
to be what i am to day
which is?
A poet, comedian,
creator, builder
and caregiver
all of largess ?
i wish!
a long way from Kilburn
twenty two years
in Britain’s mix
some recovery
will you fix
