The Poet ,The Solider and the Plumber.
Robert loughran 1962 (Ireland)
The Poet , the Solider and the Plumber,
walked a grassy field one summer day.
And in the way of men
each would have their say.
The Poet saw the universe,
within each blade of grass.
The Solider saw an ambush spot,
to halt an enemy advance.
The plumber found a spot to lay,
on this summer day.
He may have seen most clearly,
but who can really say..
