Analysis of Desperados

Robert loughran 1962 (Ireland)



You want to travel .

I want to write .

You want the busy life.

I want it quiet.

You enjoy your many friends.

With me its more one love.

We are really not the epitome,

of the hand that fits the glove.

You seek to add experiences,

I seek to express mine.

You like a place spic and span,

i dont mind a little mess.

I comtemplate ideas on life,

you put them to the test.

You want more events under your belt,

I want them off my chest.

When all is said and done my dear,
we really are a pair,
of disparate desparados,
but ones who deeply care.
