                 Chin Wager’s Son

I am a chin wager
I am my father's son
Put me on a soapbox
And from my “worth! “ comes sun

I look upon your heads
A remedy to spread
I look to your daughters
Some fine linen for their beds

I look to your justice
The markings on my wagon
I look to your belief
Your interest can't be flagging

One dollar a wonder
Two a miracle through
For three your every need
Do not look askew

Your daughter and a dollar
Why Sir you are too shrewed
A young handsome man awaits
To say more would be rude.

Roll up to my wagon
Gaze at the wonders there
Look very quickly
I dont have time to spare

Well my friends and family
It's time for me to go
My horse look's for it's bath
He smiles to let me know

And so we gently ride along
No harm in between
To our next arrival
And our wonders to be seen

Dave

Dave, I enjoyed your spirited write!

I always have a problem in that for maybe 8 and before years I just balanced writing to cope with a strange multi-country work/lifestyle in which I managed to get home for a small fraction of the time until my digestive system after 3 bouts made me a little difficult for travelling for a while.

I just wish that writing paid the mortgage, but back on the road I go, with a bit of luck.

Love it my friend.

man will not himself find peace."

And in my poetry

Always on the 'raod'

Maybe 'I have learnt'

Words

"Have no capture"
