CAN I ASK YOU SOMETHING?
''Can I ask you something old man? ''''Ask me what , Young? ''
'' What it's like? ''
'' What what like? ''
'' You know it''?
'' You've been there , aint you're? ''
'' Where? '' , '' what you on about , kid? ''
'' That place '' , '' you know'',
The old man was puzzled ,
The young lad was as puzzled ,
'' What did you do , did you do or see what
They say gos on there? '',
''Why do you ask , lad? ''
''cos I'm going there , I need too know , old man ,
The old man looked at the youth ,
Then looked beyond the kid , he was only a kid , after all said and dun ,
'' Lad , just what can I tell your? '' ,
'' You'll , know soon enough ''
The old man , got up and shuffled off ,
The lad , watched the old man goo , no answer's too his question's,
He looked forlorn , at the old mans stooped back , reseeding away.
