Thirty Years Poem by Gregory Huyette

IT'S THIRTY YEARS THAT I'VE SLAVED.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT I'VE SAVED

I BOUGHT SOME STOCKS THEY SAID WERE STARS.

NOW BANKS OWN MY HOUSE AND BOTH USED CARS.

THE KIDS DO CALL, BUT NOT ENOUGH.

THAT ALIMONY MAKES IT TOUGH.

THINGS ARE BETTER SINCE I MET DEB.

SHE'S HELPED ME BACK FROM MY LOW EBB.

WE'LL MARRY SOON, BUT BOTH ARE NERVOUS.

WE CARRY SCARS FROM PREVIOUS SERVICE.

THE NEXT THIRTY YEARS I WON'T BE CONCERNED

WITH DEBBIE, FRIENDS AND WHAT I'VE LEARNED.
