The Spark With No Light

Left school in December 1968 played truant from school on final day but no thought to what I wanted to do so hard to work out what's my way My uncle was a qualified electrician I got started as apprentice at his work but a couple of years into this job a problem arose that really stuck A couple of times connecting up cables caused a spark I was colour blind then a year later failed city & guilds so realised a new job will have to find Well a spark I was not to be having no light so couldn't shine but got warehouse work next so wasn't jobless it worked out fine (Just some thought on my first job when leaving school those 50 years ago, can't believe it was so long ago.)
