My friend is always reading
Because going for refreshment
To a pub he cannot afford.
He looked at his dad one day
Walking home uneasily.
My friend looked at me and said:
It is unfortunate.
I noticed what he means:
‘It is unfortunate
that some of us are born
in an illegitimate homes
but fortunate that we are legitimate’.
