It’s free
Get It magazine
Exclaims someone nonplussed at my wanting it
(no culture
of entitlement
like we see
in places)
It’s free
So I can take it
For nothing
(do I have
an agenda
hidden under)
Actually not
For nothing
But for their
GET Innovative feature
On a young scientist
A young scientist
A grade nine girl
Winning a gold medal
And a special award
Actually not
For nothing
Though I learn
About her
For free
Not for nothing
I poke fun at a colleague in the local neighbourhood who showed me the “Young scientist wins gold!” GET Innovative feature in the “Get It” magazine (Volume 9 Issue 1 February 2015).
No doubt, I had a hoary old Joni Mitchell ditty in my head as well!
