Lame Ducks
Virginia Carraway Stark

It isn’t asking very much
context is everything
and yet…
it sounds like a lot of fun to me
learning is fun and so playing
but I guess
it’s a bit of goatish thing
to be a kid
and have things as you please
loving to read
and not having things
be necessarily be
the science of ‘self discovery’
oh well,
I suppose
that’s the way
the world goes
when everyone wins a trophy
in every little thing
you’ve got to work to achieve
and not get a slam dunk
for being a lame duck
just a little bit of effort
if you please!
