they are ----------- and, I suppose one should easily have seen it years ago
but, of all the people - they invented the term snowflakes -
yet - they are the first to melt in any warmth whatsoever
the first hint of fear and they buckle like a thin piece of tinplate put over a gas ring
I've not ever seen such gutless wonders in such numbers elsewhere
they tell us over the years 'when the going gets tough, the tough get going'
by god -------------------- when the going gets a bit tough - you don't see em for dust -
off down the track screaming their dear little hearts out as they go
like a snowflake hitting the the bitumen on a 45 degree day
