    Life (Or Something Close To It)

    When you cry and moan, that's not a good sign.
    You may think people want to drink you in.
    But sour grapes make for a fine whine.

    Never complain to anyone. No how, no way.
    Half the people you complain to don't care.
    The other half are glad you are having a bad day.

    Giving away my money is not what I'm about.
    I am not paying an arm and a leg for anything in this store.
    But I may give someone a finger on the way out.

    We should never ever listen to what the so called experts say.
    If he would have, Elvis would still be driving a truck.
    And the Beatles music wouldn't still be alive today.

    I have finally figured out how to travel thru time fast.
    I have no problem moving ahead.
    The difficulty lies in going back to the past.

    I was getting stressed about my problems every day.
    So I made a fateful decision to quit worrying about life.
    I am not going to get out of it alive any way.

    Because there is a God, I love, I laugh, I give.
    But even if there was no higher Power,
    That would still be the best way to live.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
