נפתלי פרימור, שירתי

Holding On

Why are you looking for commodities
Spending days waiting for
The Big Sale
You need nothing
You're 86 years of age
Your closet is stuffed with
Hundreds of garments
Shoes you'll never use
What's the need to have more?
My dear she replied
It's not the goods I'm after
I'm holding on to life.
