Kevin Hulme

If (Or there Abouts)

If you can keep your Head when all around are losing theirs;

Then you\'ve never dabbled on the Stocks and Shares.

If you can watch \'Little House on the Prairie\'  and  not shed a tear,

Given Mike Tyson a Wedgie and not shown any fear.

If you can refuse silly Sandals Ben Gunn wouldn\'t wear,

Your hair in a Bun to drive a Psychiatrist spare.

If you can ask in a Library with no fear of derision;

For the  \'Karma Sutra\' - The Pop - Up  edition.

If you can walk through a Prison while Singing \'Born Free\',

Dress like Ronald Macdonald at a Funeral of three.

If you can listen to One  Song by Leonard Cohan or four;

And not jump out a Window from the 16th floor.

 

If you can walk down the Street and not Stare at your phone,

Cheer -on the Baddies in the film \'Home Alone\'.

Ask the Lady in a Bakery to \'Show me your Buns\',

Sneak out of the Church when the  \'Collections\' begun.

Place into a Letter Box a Cucumber of Size;

And shout  \'Its the Hulk\'!  and give them a Suprise.

Stand near to a Care Home on a Wild Windy Night;

Dressed like the Grim Reaper complete with a Scythe.

If you can endure the Shouts from some terrible Wag; 

That you must have a hole the old Marble Bag:

Then yours is the Earth and everything in it-

And with the state of the Earth your welcome to it.
