David Darbyshire - Shake Spear

I want to be a farmer writing poems
In a barn amongst the chickens
As well as short stories and long novels
Like the main man Charles Dickens

I want to float on a raft going down river
Thinking about adventures is not the same
Don't want to go to school to be a lawyer
Better to have fun live the life of Mark Twain

I want to be in Africa deep inside the bush
Ride an Elephant Ostrich and a Zebra
Walk among the natives without fear
If there is trouble I will shake my spear

David Darbyshire
