A PRIVATE CORNER:

He didn’t give up,
He just carried on,
His second job was in a really rubbish place,
It was terrible,
Though there were nice people,

One Saturday,
He was working as the bailiffs were removing stock,
And people hung around by the bins at the back,
Doing stuff he didn’t want to see,
Now he was in a nice place,
Safe,
Clean,
He laughed,
Recounting stories,
Looking back,
Remembering
