I have been the man: the seventh son
I have been the fool: goofy and fun
I have been the rain: tears streaming down
I have been the jest:  from a small town
I have been the coil: twisted and turned
I have been the bars: street-wise learned
I have been the bird: currents to glide
I have been the briar: filled with pride
I have been the hero: but not too many
I have been the king: grandiose dreams

         Woulda, coulda, shoulda

I survived the lance:  outrun them all
I survived the tempt: some I did fall
I survived the battle:  I have the scars
I survived the lights:  I was a film star
I survived the growl: my throat is raw
I survived the ardor: her low-cut bra
I survived the crash:  just inward hurts
I survived the crave: swishing skirts
I survived the years:  without a key
I survived the child:  that would be me

               It was a hell of a ride

This is rather ingenuous Jerry. No, really...I mean it. Using the first parts (those not italicized), everyone could fill in the 'blanks' as they are interpreted in their own life.

In terms of your own life my friend, this is telling. Unique, and very well constructed.

Loving Linny Jean is poetry.

Thank you, Ari. You are always so good to me with your comments. Yep, the non-italicized words are the come on . . . Being honest with the italicized answer is the key. At least it is for me. Sending you plenty of hand-claps for reading and commenting as always, buddy.
