Avant Garde

Let`s cheer for Youth
when it disagrees
with every way
of life it sees

This must be good
for our success
How else would we
ever progress

But it should know
what we forgot
That if we change
the world or not

youth too must age
and come to see
that youth again
will not agree

And it in turn
however clever
will find these antics
repeat forever

Why thank you both... it's an item from my (inexpensive) little Kindle Ebook, INSIDE INFORMATION. You can view it, with all my others, if you enter 'Thorne MBE' against Amazon's 'Books' prompt space. I'd be delighted if you would review it there..?

Best wishes from... Tony
