Homework
My homework is really a pain.
All those thoughts, they won't
stick in my brain
And try though I might ,
I'll be up all night.
I'd rather get hit by a train!

May you always have...
Walls for the wind
A roof for the rain
Tea beside the fire
Laughter to cheer you
Those you love near you
And all your heart might
Desire.
