T.T. Cloete

Uitgedun

 

Ek dank U dat ek Heer

soos van ouds vanoggend weer

my baard mag skeer.

 

Vroeër was ek gesteld

op seks en soma, op geweld

en eer en geld.

 

Nou is ek goedkoop

gesteld op bloedomloop

en brood en stroop.

Ik dank U Heer

dat ik vanochtend als weleer

mijn baard weer scheer.

 

Vroeger was ik gesteld

op seks en soma, op geweld

en eer en geld.

 

Nou ben ik goedkoop

gesteld op bloedsomloop

en brood met stroop.
