If I helped in the/
Creation, I’ll own ‘skeaters*,/
because they feed birds.
(aka mosquitoes*)
OR
*lake bugs,/
If I go to a/
meeting where all are sad, should I/
get sad or lift them?
Though writing’s painful,/
my musings should make you glad./
It shows we’re growing.
My kids could have said:/
“Dad, remember who you are/
and what we stand for.”
When she said goodbye,/
she said: “That was easy.” I’m/
sad it was for her.
If I looked in your eyes, deeply,/
and discussed philosophy,/
and a Frank Sinatra song/
suddenly came on,/
would you slow dance with me?
When I give her what/
she asks for, and she turns it/
down, I’ll stop trying.
When you ask for it,/
I will deliver more. But/
reject it, I quit.
Her affectation/
of pronounciation/
effected me/
negatively./
It’s linguistic frustration.
