They Thought It Was Funny

They thought it was funny – no wonder they didn’t

ask for any money. They didn’t even ask for the

time of day, even if it were the month of May.

But try if they must. Maybe all the money turned

to dust. Is there anyone out there you can trust?

Maybe not. Maybe it is time to move on and

forget about where they have gone – probably

nowhere – nowhere where they ought; now there’s

a strange thought. So it wasn’t funny after all. No-

wonder I had grown to be ten feet tall.
