Penny-eyed the dreamer pays his dues. In an old suit and a starched shirt, Arranged to hide the stains of failure That never fade the way dreams do. Such fine words rattled for a man Whose deeds had never come to much, Nor ever could, the way the cards were dealt; No aces graced his godless hands. They swear he was the best who ever lived, If accolades for foolishness are made Then crown him now and slam the book A better man than he cannot exist. Now bury him with worthless lines, Untruths have dogged his days to death And make fine bedfellows for one Who died of lies and uselessness. |

You seldom bite, but when you do? OUCH. I wish I knew the source of inspiration for this, but then again, maybe I don't wanna. Penny-eyed. At least it was his last two cents? Feel better, Grinch. Karenity worries.   |

Yep, the bite left marks on my mind. In the best possible way your poem lingers in my thoughts and now I have to take a break from reading. I want to savor this and think about it more. A |

what a painful poem to write for yourself or for others. Not easy, truly not easy. but, SB is always the smart one. It could be the two cents that every one worries.so what is the big deal?!!! "a self-worthless mood" is clearly said here |
