The Privileged ‘Sessalc Elddim’


from the ABC set Poems 1

The Privileged ‘Sessalc Elddim’

Prolonged education
Funded by Mummy and Daddy;
How touching...
And a gap year thrown in for the hell of it
Travelling around the world
Experiencing new and exotic delights
Meeting new and like minded compatriots

Global fun fest successfully executed

Homeward bound
Greeted, like a hero from the war;
All of the glory, with none of the gore

But what of the rest of his life
All that wasted ‘gap time’
Well, don’t worry...

A shiny new job is waiting

A friend of Daddy’s you see...

Pulled a few strings
