Woe, Woe, Whoa


Sometimes
I’ll sit alone
In my shack
Down on this river
And begin to rue
My life

Woe, I’ll say
Woe is me
Whoa, slow down
Things aren’t all
That bad

True,
My retirement plan is
I’ll work till I die
But,
I never minded work
So in this case
The longer, the better

Besides,
I have always done things
On my own terms
How can one regret that?

I do have a sprinkling
Of friends
Half of which are in jail
For being criminally
Stupid
But, they’ll stop that
And will be out soon

Aside from some D.N.A.
And some genetic traits,
I have little in common
With my son
But, he is happy
And successful
And that brings me joy

So, now that I think
About my life
I realize
That I have but one
Real regret
Like Lewis Carrolls’
Walrus
I only wish
That I had had
More butter


Hey squirrel dude! Thanks for the idea

I keep reading.
I haven't found anything I disliked yet.
Your work always holds the most interesting thoughts.

I will not bend to the cowardice of a silent judgement.

love the end
sort of puts things in perspective.
To ever consider ourselves as importent is the triumph of ego over common sense

And yet another (bow to you) kudos, wranx. Not only do I appreciate your kind posts to my own works, but I must in kind appreciate your craft, as I too relate to your words, and enjoy the way in which you put them together. Awesome!
