MY LIFE’S A WRECK

My LIFE’S A TRAIN WRECK

My life’s been something of a wreck,
Thanks to moronic Fundy fools
Who raised me in “Heck”!

Distress and deprivation
Have often been the worst!
Wonder why I’ve been so cursed.
Though lately my life has reversed
‘Cause I regularly rehearse
Gratitude, compassion, and mirth!

Yet I’ve been well-versed,
Rehearsed in tribulation.
With lips partly pursed,
I thirst for guidance and rebirth,
To be rid of this cursed
Wretchedness and dearth
Wherein often I’m immersed
So relentlessly ’tis terse!

But Hope Springs eternal.
Tomorrow I’ll begin again,
Expecting to triumph and win …
Somewhere eternally,
Out there in Eternity …
Hopefully …
But who knows when.

LIFE’S A SHIP WRECK

My life’s a shipwreck! 
Or should I conclude
That ship has sailed
Like two ships passing in the night
Coming unglued?

I could I say
Life’s a train wreck.
Or has that train
Left the station too,
Like two trains
Passing a wreck or two?

I’ve lived a long time …
A lifetime
Longing for love,
Acceptance, a Honey,
Fun, friends, faith …
To be thin, fit in …
Have money.

To say Thoughts are things –
They created my life,
Sounds funny.
I only know old age and strife
Have blown my plans to heck.
And that ain’t funny, Honey!
That’s a wreck!
