I Feel Sad & Bad Poem by John Sensele

I feel bad and sad
When my clumsiness gets out of hand
To drive partners mad
As on the seat of my pants with a thud I land.

I feel rotten
When my ineptitude steps on toes
Of siblings, friends and associates sometimes forgotten
As expedience and selective amnesia mistake them for foes.

I feel the world would be happier
If tact dominated my thought processes
To make my environment merrier
Regardless of my balance sheet of challenges and successes.

I feel more accomplished
When students, grandsons and wives
Smile all the while as dished and wished
Sentiments, emotions, actions and reactions jettison knives and thieves.
