Too much to askYou’d think that I’m asking for vaultfuls of gold
Or answers to mysteries never yet told;Astonishing marvels, confounding on sight,Like spaceships that travel much faster than light; Or else that I’m asking — incredible feat — Some labor that Hercules couldn’t complete;Yes, such you would think I’m requesting with smirk:A towering burden, exertion, and work As judged by reaction at time that I’ve paidWhich comes in response to request that I’ve madeWhen all that I’m asking — it’s hardly much work —Was “please may I have the receipt?” from the clerk.Don MundayRead more Munday Verse
