Random Poem of the Day

1Dunno a heap about the what an' why,
2   Can't say's I ever knowed.
3Heaven to me's a fair blue stretch of sky,
4   Earth's jest a dusty road.
5Dunno the names o' things, nor what they are,
6   Can't say's I ever will.
7Dunno about God--he's jest the noddin' star
8   Atop the windy hill.
9Dunno about Life--it's jest a tramp alone
10   From wakin'-time to doss.
11Dunno about Death--it's jest a quiet stone
12   All over-grey wi' moss.
13An' why I live, an' why the old world spins,
14   Are things I never knowed;
15My mark's the gypsy fires, the lonely inns,
16   An' jest the dusty road.
