Homework 4/2/13 Confucius Said

Post by David Campbell » Sun Jan 20, 2013 10:23 pm

Confucius Said

The road is long, Confucius said,
and man must have his daily bread.
So as days fly, just wish you may
still have some dough when you go grey.

But though I wish, Sod's Law applies;
my bread is grey, the dough won’t rise.
I walk that road and wonder why
so many others fly right by.
