Down - Ups Poem by Barry Van Allen

I know exactly how to do what you want done,
I have the experience,
I'll even do it for a 'bargain - basement' price,
- - - Well - - - the same to you!

It must be nice!

I can remember when I was never growing older,
I confess, I did the same,
I know more now, though,
and now I'm more ashamed ...
... and, your not yet!

There are so many things that I'm not yet !

It is just bad luck that we know everything,
experience is a curse,
... the more you have, and the more you know,
- - - only seems to make things worse.

Stupidity and youth, are so much in demand,
- - - I just don't quite understand it,
- - - even if I had that planned ...
- - - I would never have imagined ...
- - - an up-side downer planet!
