As I’m sitting here br thinking of my fears br I remember the real br reason for my tears: br br At work a new threat br has arisen to haunt me br nightly in my dreams – br we are going to be sent br br on a course for financial br management – ye gods, my br nemesis is arithmetic! br and at home a school project br br looms: entrepreneurial br prowess of my twelve-year br old; with budget and br planning and selling br br a product of our own choice br I spent a night crying br sad, crocodile tears, but br you simply said grin and br br bear it, in a voice most br unsympathetic, you shall br profit immensely by becoming br a real financial whiz! br br Mr Mohapi also insists br one’s intellectual property br should be guarded and sold br - while I want to give away br br all my happiest thoughts; br Poetry.
