The Tokyo Man

He loves the open spaces of the Australian countryside The paddocks on either side of the highway that stretch far and wide Miles south of overcrowded Tokyo in Japan The lust of the wander is in the young man Where people most part of the night and all day long To and from their places of work to and from the fast trains do throng One thing about home he does not feel nostalgic about There are some things in life that we can live without He feels happy to live where the weather is breezy and bright Where the magpie in Winter sings in the moonlight He is from one of the World's great Cities where people for success compete At any time of the day or night in Tokyo never a deserted street He does enjoy life where people are few Where every day from Nature he does learn something new.
