Life's Ironies

LIFE’S  IRONIES


Driving an automatic but still wondering where the clutch is
Wanting to dance  but being unable to find your crutches

Understanding Shakespeare but still not stifling a yawn
Realising who was important in life after  they’re gone

Having cash  to pay the heating bill when you’re  not cold
Knowing how to but not being able to when you’re  old
