On the second day of X-mas

The poet came across

A Classical music performance:

Jaqueline du Pre and Daniel

Barenboim

Directing the London

Symphony Orchestra

What a treat!

Reminding the poet of times

In Southern Africa

Within a wide group of friends

In discussions about life and

Family ties

The philosophy of getting ahead

In one’s personal development.

On the second day of X-mas

Life has presented itself with

Problems

One had never thought will

Be important to one’s later

Life

While dwelling in the sun of

The Southern African continent

As for some the sun is all

Important

For others born in the ascent

Of the sun

It’s very important

Like food to stay sweet

For others like one’s spouse

It’s the milk

On which life’s dependent on.
