Wealthy I am! Can wager on vices
Eager they’re too to take me zenith
Avarice-whisky, anger-cigarettes and
Lust-harlots lined up to keep me afloat
Through pseudo-pleasures of life
Hornpipes somewhere inside hoot cautions
“Yards nigh you’re to Judgment day”
Best to heed the warning - time to savor lifes true pleasures, not the false ones. Nice piece, well written. Linda
