Jerry Abrahamson Poems

You have a great idea
On how to start
Making money for yourself
And to make a difference
...

Don't you just love it
When people are watching you
Watching for any little mistake
That you might make
...

Isn't it funny
That my poetry
Has an effect
Of calming me down
...

I guess that I should have died
In the car accident so long ago
And then they wouldn't have to bother
With helping me out in life
...

I have no need for fame
In what I do out in the world
That's why I stay inside
And do what I must do
...

Isn't ot funny
How we seem to
Get upset about
Things that aren't important
...

It's just a hobby
The writing that I do
It can't amount to anything
So let's not even try
...

I think that it's fun
TO be writing poems this way
To be writing up a storm
Like a fool who can't stop
...

I haven't begun
To start throwing things
Because nobody notices
The ad in the paper
...

Oh, how I love hearing about
The problems we're facing today
Is it different from
The problems of generations before
...
