Last night I watched
Jiska Rickels’ film 4 Elements
I am now able to tell you
That I personally have no desire
To be a forest firefighter
Or a deep sea fisherman
Neither a miner in Germany
Or anywhere else for that matter
Finally, I would not wish
To undertake the training necessary
To become a space astronaut
I am happy to write
From the comfort of my armchair
Or to make a sketch, in a coffee shop
Yes I am ok to say
How I wish that Mrs Thatcher
Had not closed down the mines
And the shipyards
But I would not wish my sons
Nor I, to be in those professions
