I said "Father, driving with the
helmet and in first gear",
"That's good, my son, but have you any more?"
"Sure, there are ten, but I shall keep only four".

It's that what has brought the envy and the wedge,
The fifth is easy and you can have a ball

He moulds wonders out of his two hands
Leaving impression forever on the sands.
