Firsts?
It is quite a puzzling conundrum Which came first, chickens or eggs No definitive answer, smart or dumb And one for which an answer begs Myself, I’m more confused by socks Is there an answer; I’d like to know Which is first; help me check the box A hole in the toe or the toe […]
Between
Oh to be such a clever person Who can say in but a few words Between birth to my hearse gone Something you have never heard
Too Little, Too Late
Since up is down, down is up Although neither is the other Stand upon your head to sup Don’t know why you’d bother Life finds me dizzy some days Even when I don’t spin about Punched right between my eyes I feel so full of angst and doubt I think the world is turned over […]
