Everyday realisation
Some do
Some don’t
Some don’t know if they do
Some do know that they don’t
Four categories is sufficient
For those that do
Fore those that don’t
For those that can, or can’t
For those that will, or won’t
You can count them in the supermarket
You can count them on the car boot stall
You can count them at the football ground
Count at the pink champagne, debutantes ball
Even count them sailing, out upon the Sound
You can put yourself among them
Depending on the lightness of your mood
Join in if you are absolutely joyful, stand tall
Connect, even if you are beginning to brood
Or just decide that, yes ‘you are awful’ after all
