NOT MUCH IN FAVOUR
H. W. Bryce
Not much in favour I am of disasters.
I don’t much like them at all. They don’t do much
In the way of a good life, and don’t do much
To make life any better at all.
Given a choice, I would vote against all forms
Of disaster. Disasters are not my favourite thing.
And besides, disasters make such a mess,
They put you to such a test and what for?
Disasters make a mess of us, and are hard
To recover from. Disasters are just dumb.
Disasters are a waste of my effort,
I’m not a supporter of them at all.
I fail to see any good in them; they can’t
Support a gala ball. They’re less than highly
Educated; they can’t hardly even think,
Let alone reason deep. Disasters stink.
Be compassionate, loving and true.
It’s up to you to be human, despite
The long noses and down beats of
The disaster. The ones they hurt
Are going to be needing you.
So, for sure I’m not much in favour
Of disasters, I don’t much like them at all.
