autobiography (the earning years 1988-96)

there was this bearded bloke from delhi
went to singapore with fire in his belly
but eight years took its toll
he made money; lost his soul
now, the fire's gone out but not the belly

autobiography (the retired years 1996-2006)

ten years gone in delhi for the bearded one
so's some belly (some hard work, some fun)
now, he wonders what's next,
life in a new context
for, what's left when nothing's been done
