Notes About The Poem

France, Wait, What?

Stoked In

Stoked in low; 
stoked in high;
Try to reach up; 
to that sky.

Your placement here; 
Has just been in passing;
It's over now; 
Life's not that harassing.

Don't look down;
Too late, don't frown;
Come with me; 
We'll have the new town.

Never again; 
Shall I turn away;
Never again; 
Shall I  stray!

I'm leaving now; 
I'll see you soon;
Come, let's hurry; 
It's almost noon!

Give it a chance; 
Give it a stance; 
Look at you; 
You're in France?

Let me tend; 
Let me bend;
It all comes down to this; 
My gallant friend!

Show me now; 
Show me then;
It is how life goes; 
It is The End.
