'Good Mourning' Mr Fox                                   Sardinian Family

       "He Says he's lost his stick!"                   Ubud Market         

 LIFE'S LOTTERY

               Somewhere something rolls our dice,
                                And out we pop
Into a random numbered world.
                                Unique bouncing balls of chance
                                              Chaotically controlled.
                            Total accidents.
              Denied a choice in time and place,
Parents, talents
                                                            Type of face,
Responsible for nothing
                     Yet needing to achieve
                      Like melting snowflakes 'Blizzardised',
We hope to feel before we leave.
