ITEM 2: POEM

Isn't It Funny?

It's funny how hello is always accompanied with goodbye
It's funny how good memories can start to make you cry

It's funny how forever never seems to really last
It's funny how much you'd loose if you forgot about your past

It's funny how friends can just leave you when you're down
It's funny how when you need someone they're never around

It's funny how people can change and think they're so much better
It's funny how many lies can be packed in one ''love letter''

It's funny how people can forgive even though they can't forget
It's funny how one night can contain so much regret

It's funny how ironic life turns out to be,
But the funniest part,
Is that none of it is funny...
To me.

So the Man put the Boy on the Donkey and they went on their way. But soon they passed a group of men, one of whom said: "See that lazy youngster, he lets his father walk while he rides." So the Man ordered his Boy to get off, and got on himself. But they hadn't gone far when they passed two women, one of whom said to the other: "Shame on that lazylout to let his poor little son trudge along." Well, the Man didn't know what to do, but at last he took his Boy up before him on the Donkey. By this time they had come to the town, and the passers-by began to jeer and point at them. The Man stopped and asked what they were scoffing at. The men said: "Aren't you ashamed of yourself for overloading that poor donkey of yours and your hulking son?" The Man and Boy got off and tried to think what to do. They thought and they thought, till at last they cut down a pole, tied the donkey's feet to it, and raised the pole and the donkey to their shoulders. They went along amid the laughter of all who met them till they came to Market Bridge, when the Donkey, getting one of his feet loose, kicked out and caused the Boy to drop his end of the pole. In the struggle the Donkey fell over the bridge, and his fore-feet being tied together he was drowned.
