Do you twinkle, little star?
How I wonder where you are?
Cold and hungry with no light?
Sleeping on the street tonight?
Or perhaps a dirty squat?
Are you smoking more than pot?
Tell me please I need to know
It’s just that I do worry so
Call me, call me, little star
Tell me, tell me, where you are
Its been weeks since your last call
It’s been worrying us all
Don't give up your education
Please just give me your location
Homelessness is not a crime
And yes, I know you need your time
But oh, it tears us all apart
Don't you know it breaks my heart?
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
Show me, show me where you are

Your work just gets better
Your work just gets better and better Tara!
Mind you, you'll be hard pushed to better 'Porsonal Gad'!
I considered this poem might scan a little better with some very minor changes but I'm not saying it would actually be an improvement :O)
Anyway...
"Tell me please I need to know
