Words make sense in every way,
We use them each and every day,
We ask, we tell, we scorn, we praise,
We tell of life and special days,
...
A way of life a fortune told
A fortune spent before I am old
Scenes from life that flash past eyes
Bloodshot scarred from all the tries
...
How is it so that it can now be
The venerable guy, aforementioned me
A strut through the park like a wil'o'the wisp
Soft footed through grass frozen so crisp.
...
Be still, be quiet, be heard, be seen
And all the sayings in between,
Don't laugh don't smile don't frown or gloat
Don't run don't walk don't rock the boat,
...
Life is not what bites you,
It should be what excites you,
Laughter strained is pointless,
Opinions? Well who wants this?
...
Scurry back and forth as well you might
The mind when cornered always taking flight
Descend in shadows deep to raise the thoughts
The inspiration blindness sours all we're taught
...
The rustle, the shake, the smell of old pine needles
The cat heads for the door, the kids play on the floor
The drip, drip, as the stalk gives up its place in scented room,
The lights already tangled ready for their cardboard box,
...
I don't have vices as common as bread slices,
I don't do fad diets that thin out your fat
When driving I'm patient and let the world whizz by
At least thats what I think, but the wife won't have that
...
A rhyme a sonet we really dont want it
The world needs actions and soon
Like the cat played the fiddle in a world famous riddle
And the stupid cow jumped at the moon
...
