Our life has lots of edges: Goes the rocket through the space, While nearby the police station, Stands an auto for inmates. In his spare time, the scholar On Ibn Sina writes a rhyme, While three topers in the store Drink a bottle of red wine. On the junkyard, several vagrants Fight with no strong reason and bawl, While a new play in the playhouse Goes with no free seats at all...
