A Poem or Two
They said I lack ambition
A career I should pursue.
And I, I sat...
And wrote a poem or two.
The bills came abundant
My finances to consume.
And I, I sat...
And wrote a poem or two.
My house laid in shambles
The rain leaked through the roof.
And I, I sat...
And wrote a poem or two.
She said she found repugnant
My ways through and through.
And I, I sat...
And wrote a poem or two.
I suppose that someday
I should begin to go and do,
But for now,
I think I’ll sit...
And write a poem or two…
