Coming down the village lane
I overtook an old man carrying
two sacks one over each shoul
der I could tell how heavy
they were by the way he stag
gered as he walked let me
help you I said give me one
of the sacks thank you he
answered but I must carry
them both myself one of mine
and one hers but what’s in
them I asked if you don’t
know what is in them there’s
no point in my telling you
when I lost sight of him his
knees were buckling from the
weight but both sacks were
still slung over his back.
