So,
I catch up on the news,the views,the who's doing what to where and when,
if only then to disseminate,to punctuate the lines with laughter,after all I'm no one's fool,
though school was often on my wish list,
I missed it more often than not.
I got my education off the streets,elucidation came my way each and every day I struggled through,
nothing new in that,there's many more out there to bore you rigid with their tale of how to and how not to fail.
Somewhere in the wind behind me you will find me dancing free,how easy now to read and sit and go to seed,
I need the news like I need rain,I need to feel that touch of someone else's pain,it makes my own seem somewhat less.
