Confession

Posted by Highhat on August 18, 2011 - 05:24

Bureaucracy makes me feel ugly
Age makes me feel old
I am a passing stranger
An alien from another generation
Where are all my admirers
Who listened to me
Now the world seems deaf
And may use misplaced pedagogy
but it ain't gonna stop me
I’ll alternate with peace and quiet and
stimulation and inspiration
I’ll do what I want to
And what I have always wished to
I'll play-act I'm on a safari
hunting down danger
and teasing fate
because I never dared before
and couldn't find the strength
I’ll confess to all
And bore you with my trivialities
I’ll take the arguments
I won’t lay down
or patronize
I’ll say anything I want to
I’m going to make you think
You’ll want to answer
So watch out : Here I come

Love it, Pia...especially the bit about 'pedagogy' and 'it ain't gonna stop me'.

Tina- I think public servants who use pedagogy are so annoying- I'd restrict it to children.
Thanks for your lovely comment
