Jerry Abrahamson Poems

It has always puzzled me
That the most important liquid
That a person can drink
Is a glass of water
...

Some people in the world
Don't seem to know the difference
Between work and a hobby
And that can be a problem
...

Sometime, I think it's funny
When I stop and think
That the way to settle a stomach
Is with a glass of milk
...

I have what you would call
A very creative mind
I have the ability
To think up amazing things
...

Don't you just love it
When people would say
That what you are doing
Is just a hobby
...

I just love it
When people think
That sports are
The only way out
...

Oh, how I love it
When I have a change of address
And I have to tell everybody
That I have just moved
...

Don't you always think
About being famous
Or having a fortune
And how grand life would be
...

It seems everywhere I go
There are a bunch of rules
Like we can't manage ourselves
Like we're little kids
...

I guess that I will just have to
Accept myself the way I am
And not keep thinking
That I have to be like everyone else
...
