I will admit that I am on a quest,
Need answers to a question most profound,
A need to know simmers within my chest.

What can be this question I want addressed;
That I'll be seeking like a redbone hound?
I will admit that I am on a quest.

Thought I had the answer and I was blessed,
But it hasn't sunk in, it came unbound,
A need to know simmers within my chest.

A character named Truman is possessed,
He and I surely are on common ground,
I will admit that I am on a quest.

In my new novel Truman is distressed,
His brother lies under burial mound?
A need to know simmers within my chest

My novel to find answers is the test,
Everywhere I look a dunce I am crowned.
I will admit that I am on a quest,
A need to know simmers within my chest.

Looks like you had a little fun writing this piece Jerry... This could prove to be an enlightening year, perhaps

Yep, I admit to having a little mirth composing this one, Rex. Thank you for your kind comments.
