A Poem

By Michael avantPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

The worlds in our hands, the contract written throughout

Our palms,

They nervously threatened us to change, who are we to remain

Calm?

Our theories seem a little more off base in these extra

Innings,

Who are we not to understandingly judge a loser by his

Winnings.

Could we impress this room full of comedians by not

Grinning?

Some of the few who believe in "Drunken Love" can't recognize a room

That's not spinning.

Rendezvous with heroism, we could save the date if we knew the

Day,

Some say Shakespeare was actually out of bounds if you review the

Play.

We identified the fire starters but not the makers of the

Fuel,

Pinning the tail on donkey to claim our 40 acres and a

Mule.

Still at times camera shy, we can cheat if the angles

Fair,

"Using the Old Noodle" in Hell's Kitchen now they're jealous of our

Angel hair.

They thought we couldn't hang but somehow we learn the

Ropes,

Not all thieves remember to wear their ski mask before they hit the

Slopes.

For every four doors that we open, we close

Five,

Before investing stock in a "Pinocchio" you must anticipate a nose

Dive.

Shots fired, we had a blast, but we also had to bite the

Bullet,

A prank is just a simple plan until someone has the guts to

Pull it.

We've learned to place our trust in someone that is not

Self,

Not all bottom feeders are hungry enough to reach the top

Shelf.
