Wu-Kih in a deck chair,
enjoying the evening sun;
contemplates the wonder there
that one and one and one makes One!

Sitting on a mountain top,
no-one else around
mind and universe both stop;
peace at last is found.

Mee-soh struggling up the slope
strives with wit and might and main.
She slips and slides and loses hope;
then she struggles on and up again.

Now at last she’s made it,
sweaty, breathless, hot;
karmic debt – she’s paid it,
and all the world forgot.

Drags herself to a deck chair,
clears her mind of doubts
and, with a fixed and fearsome stare,

“Leave me ALONE!” she shouts.
