Knock knock
Is that a knock I hear?
I wait a second and continue
To fill in many forms
Required by the doctor.
Is that a knock I hear?
I must be mistaken and inspect
The detailed questionnaire
To insure my house next May
Four calls later and I’m sorted
Three items more and that’s it
With paperwork and all the forms
In modern life it is the norm.
Another quiet knock and I turn
And welcome in a gentle man
Who drinks some tea and shares the chat
And bids me well at what I’m at.
Nice of him to come and visit
No formal message, no posted letter
A quiet knock, a pleasant call
A friendly chat, that’s all.
I thought this fellow lived in a sanctuary
With lighted candles in a monastery
Turns out I’m wrong, he’s always near
Bringing peace and love and cheer.
