A Colonial Reflects on Living in the Old Country

It looks the same
but is not the same
12000 miles from home
But very close to the roots
of my family tree
I settle in

I feel comfortable here
up North
Friendly Folks
with cold, wet weather
Home of the Geordie
and mince and dumplings

Business terms
and styles differ
but the human dimension
and office politics
are the same the
wide world over
