That's Life

Just for the heck of it (and to see if anyone understands this) - herewith the only Afrikaans poem I've ever written, short and sweet:

Die lewe speel soos kat en muis
Hy vang jou, en gooi jou terug
Satyn oor die staal naald

(English translation:
Life plays cat and mouse with you
It catches you and throws you back
Satin concealing a steel needle)

Any closet Afrikaaners out there? :)
