Personal Truth

Peter Scurrah

Did you ever stop and think?
About the power of pen and ink,
Or that the books from which we learn,
They're only someone else's turn...
At writing of the things they think they know...
So please now stop and muse,
Upon reading of this news,
And consider if you will,
The validity of swill,
And think before you start...
