WHAT YOU NEED.

WHAT YOU NEED.

A Poem by Terry Collett
"

ON WHAT YOU REALLY NEED.

"



Now
I like
destruction
& mayhem

as much
as the next person...
so you have
to pay a bit more

to prolong
your youth
& for a guy
in a tweed jacket

to give you
a certificate
which says
you're qualified

to do
x, y & z,
in the hope
that you'll

be able
to walk straight
into a job
you're not

experienced to do.
I never went
to uni &
yet everyday

I somehow
manage
to dress
myself.

Written by my late son Oliver Collett(1984-2014)
