| We all must wonder, now and then,
|
| If things had turned out — well — just plain different.
|
| Chance path taken, page unturned or brief encounter, blossomed, splintered.
|
| Might I have been the man of courage, brave upon life’s battlefield,
|
| Captain Commerce, high-flown banker, hedonistic, down-at-heel?
|
| A Puritan of moral fibre, voice raised in praise magnificent?
|
| Or rested in assured repose, knowing my lot in quiet content.
|
| What-ifs, Maybes and Might-have-beens fly, soft petals on a breeze.
|
| What-ifs, Maybes and Might-have-beens.
|
| Why-nots, Perhaps and Wait-and-sees.
|
| Suppose bold woman, quite unsuited, brave in adventure, sojourns wicked.
|
| Velvet touch and lips soft-centred, tossing hair, teeth bared in laughing.
|
| Imagine idyll Summers never-ending, Winter nights beside fire roaring.
|
| Touched by madness, filled with fondness, kissed by love, love without name.
|
| What-ifs, Maybes and Might-have-beens fly, soft petals on a breeze.
|
| What-ifs, Maybes and Might-have-beens.
|
| Why-nots, Perhaps and Wait-and-sees.
|
| So, you ride yourselves over the fields.
|
| And you make all your animal deals.
|
| And your wise men don’t know how it feels
|
| To be thick as a brick… two |
