There is a fullness brewed from thinking,  
That denies our banal play;  
From this broth we should be drinking 
Oft, along our thirsting way. 
------------ 
My serenity is not disturbed,  
By keeping up with Jones;  
Who trades his car, just every year 
And owes for most he owns. 
------------- 
Quite often on life's crowded way,  
I let the rumbling herds pass by;  
With slackened gait I search the sky,  
To find the role that I must play,  
'Ere curtains fall and death holds sway. 
------------ 
He writes so pure, so true and sure 
And does it with so little fuss. 
I only know him from the way 
He signs his name-A. Nony Mous. 
------------- 
Dear Lord, when will I ever reach 
The pinnacle from which I preach?
Joseph Anderson
