Analysis of HAPPENED
Tomin Mooney 1972 (Cochin)
It Happened
And then it didn’t happen
And it between…. What happened, I’m not quite sure
Would it happen again?
I hope not
Did I want it to happen?
Yes seems bout right
Happen again?
No never not
Why it happened?
There are some clues
Is it of any use?
Probably just use, misuse and abuse
So I pen these
To open and shut
Those misshapen what happeneds
What happened just happened.

About this poem
About the what Happened-s that one so often get stuck in ...so much in younger days...not so much as the years have gone by.
