Should Have Been a Contender
I see I am almost 60
The river of life has sped by
Sweet accounts are needed
Thank God I remember the 60s
sane relics of the past
Kaftans and roll-ups
strain to the sounds
blonde this and that
Mini skirts and wobbly legs
I hear the wind calling
It wants an account of where I've been
Schooled in Croydon by Woodside
Polytechnic in the East End
Never used my Degree for its full effect
Should have been a contender
in the National Audit Office
Life goes by quickly
its a black board of unreason
It demands an answer
