Heard I a story
not of a fairy
of a family
where the elderly
as well as the young
talk with overtures
a boast of their wealth
a lecture on their health
list the cost of each tablet
enlist their expenditure on clothes
tabulate the jewels they have
count the properties they own
Well. it was a drone
proved a lengthy bore
difficult to hear more
unobtrusively made way
through the hot day
pant and heaved did I
with a long sigh
How long I have heard ?
How much long should I hear ?
