This ol' poem of mine. Forgotten, then rediscovered on a poetry site! I came across this old poem/song of mine on a poetry site. I'd forgotten it and I had to blush, surprised at how good it was. Maybe it's just me. Comments are welcome. the wonder that precedes the thunder I haven't got what it takes to quit Just play my hand n' get on with it Some might pray or say it's written in the stars Holding up answers with exclamation marks Toss an easy catch, all passions are released! Strike another match, noncommittal and carefree You wanna' slow't down, then I'm gonna' get off Paid for my ticket, now I'm not gonna' stop 'Swear it's like a habit to be hoodwinked n' short changed But this time we're gonna' go the whole, damn way This time I'll go the, whole, damn way Down in the valley we were almost lost With the sounds of the river n' the light so soft Th' jury dispersed when the judge didn't show Th' accused left standing n' th' case was never closed Deft slight of hand, murder in the first degree! Void of reprimand, footloose n' fancy-free The wraith on your mast and your blinking **** Will guide my stars until my days are done But did you ever stop for a moment t'ponder The loneliness of the wonder that precedes the thunder The loneliness of the wonder that precedes the thunder small circles, big wheels!
I've got a pretty firm grip on the obvious! | |
