My name is Clifton Sylvester Tobin. I was born in Jamaica 20/5/1945 as one of six children. My parents are Abraham and Mildred Tobin. I attended elementary school from the age of seven to the age of sixteen after which I joined my mother who has since immigrated to England. What I wanted then was to further my education but my mother didn't have the resources and the opportunity didn't come so I sought and found employment as a hospital porter. I then moved on to Huffman Pressing which is my present career. I was first drawn into poetry when I started reading the Bible and came across the songs of Solomon and was later greatly inspired by that late great poet Mr. Burns. |
The Drinking Mans ThemeI slept in the lawn last nightI open my eyes at dawn and behold the heaven above with the sky so blue and the grass carpeted the earth green beneath my shoe my face I bath in sparkling trickling water then I remember yes I remember yesterday it was the day I decided to wash my sorrows away with strong spirits beckoning my soul come away come away. | I Take Each Day As It ComesThe night time the moon the day time the sunI take each day as it comes ain't asking for Much don't want to own the world long as I'm Happy got bread on my table some one to love Me comfort and cheer me when ever I get lonely I ain't' the one to make a fun for me there'll be no Rush the night time the moon the day time the sun I take each day as it comes |
