We each come at things
in our own way, to suit
our own purpose. He reads
the editorial pages first,
then gradually makes his way
forward from aft, reading the
news, inconsequential parts
last. I make my orderly
way faithfully plodding
front-to-back. He, a
meat-and-potatoes man
has his meat first, the rest
follows. As for me,
I nibble that chocolate cake
and savour the icing last.
