Old WEA Bookshop in lane
Kerr Grant‟s last verse for “If”
If you can find a way to smash the atom
And yet not build the bits into a bomb
If you can say, “Well I a democrat am”
And yet see something in a com
If in the Brave New World‟s big university
You sometimes find your weekend papers stiff
Perhaps „twill help to overcome adversity
If thinking of this day, you think of “If”.
