The Reason

A little nostalgia today, I was scanning my library the other day and  happened upon the first poem I had ever written, at the age of 14. It was  pressed neatly between the pages of a book. I hope you enjoy x

The Reason

There once was a man

Who became very ill,

He passed a virus

To a palace messenger

The messenger

Carried out his daily duties

He passed to the virus to an emperor

Who became too sick

To initiate war

Millions of lives were saved.
