Crazy Gig Poem by Barry Middleton

life is a crazy gig
sometimes I think the game is rigged

in fact I'm rather sure
we fight in vain but we endure

maybe the deck is stacked
the chips accounted for and racked

played without a stake
long before the bets we make

I thought I'd never fall
I could do anything at all

but that is never true
if no one puts their faith in you

I got a chance and luck
someone to push when I was stuck

you'll need a partner too
success is just a steady crew

so keep the wise ones near
and forever be sincere

and then you will go far
believe me you are a superstar
