Life by Miss Abagail Mannering Life is like a maiden voyage, unpredicatble and unique. Sometimes the sailing's smooth, and sometimes the waters' rough. Sometimes the fare is a feast, quite palatable to your gullet; and sometimes the pickings are slim and the water brackish. Sometimes your quarters are confortable, roomy and relazing. And sometimes they confine you 'til you crave to be a gull and fly free. Orders given, and orders received are oft times not the same. What we perceive to mean one thing most often means quite another. The direction and course we travel is left to science and fate. and we say.... what is meant to be will be. (written after my attempt at suicide. It was inspired by Titanic, though i had not seen it at that time.)April. 1998 ------------------ "Some people aren't worth a puddle of ant pee in the middle of a dessert when it's 100 degrees in the shade." -me |

Miss Abagail, I liked this one. ![]() My favorite lines are in the first stanza. "Sometimes the sailing's smooth, and sometimes the waters' rough." (Yes, Life. It is like a maiden voyage. Who knows what's ahead or when the next big storm will hit?) |

Thank you, I am glad that my Ship seems to FINALLY be close enough to shore, that if i have to 'jump ship', i won't 'drown.' "Some people aren't worth a puddle of ant pee in the middle of a dessert when it's 100 degrees in the shade." -me |
