Reverse Nations

Reverse Nations
You ask me how I am
I feel fine and happy and all that
I hope you are the same
I’m bright and smiles
You’re often melancholic
We are different in outlook
I work in a wood factory
You tell me you’re a chef
Shall we have a chat and compare lives?
I like reading the newspaper
You prefer glossy fashion magazines
We are both diverse in our tastes
You say you eat cornflakes and drink tea
I have a coffee and jam toast
Breakfast is very important
It’s good to be different in our choices
You take a stroll in the park
I smoke a cigarette by my window
How do you start your day?
