Bleaux.
~ Haiku Game Poem Part IV ~
Riches are within
How do I get them without?
That's where my debts are
That's where my debts are
To those that have shown kindness
Never forgotten
Never forgotten
Images do seem to change
The years erode them
The years erode them
A hard body can go fast
When too seldom used
When too seldom used
Anything can get rusty
Use it or lose it
Use it or lose it
Like exercising the mind
Get those cells working!
Get those cells working
The lazy little devils
Grow fat if ignored
Grow fat if ignored
And who grows fatter each year?
IRS, that's who!
IRS, that's who
Keeps Math alive for us all
Tax forms are coming
Tax forms are coming
Even the devil extracts
his unjustly due
His unjustly due
Is the good ole pound of flesh
Off the middle please
Off the middle please
a little off the hips too
Weight is such a tease
Weight is such a tease
It always plays peek-a-boo
First here and then there
First here and then there
Goes my mind on given days
Just wretched to age ...
Just wretched to age
But the one alternative ..
It is pretty grim
It is pretty grim
When it comes Monday morning
Facing back to work
Facing back to work
Fills the heart with quaking dread
Like a firing squad
Like a firing squad
Fear of death can cause us to
die a thousand times
Die a thousand times
Drive insurance agents nuts.
Who's the winner here?
Who's the winner here
Winning is never easy
but I keep trying ...
But I keep trying
To find life's deeper meaning
Why even bother
Why even bother
with that dirty kitchen floor
Chores! What agony
Chores! What agony
Stems from everyday living
A maid would be nice
A maid would be nice
But I would have to clean first
Else, she look and leave
Else, she look and leave
I would fain give a token
To tempt her to stay
To tempt her to stay
I would ply her heart with love
Would one deny love?
Would one deny love?
Only the once burned, twice shy
Old pain fades slowly
Old pain fades slowly
And the scars always remain
But no one sees them
But no one sees them
Hiding under the bridges
Trolls are so sneaky
Trolls are so sneaky
Possibly like some blind dates
Just go home early
Just go home early
And relax in your own chair
Form fitted comfort
Form fitted comfort
The faithful promise of most
tight undergarments
Tight undergarments
Only accent areas
Not bound completely
Not bound completely
nor wrapped too tightly is the
mind, senior moments?
Mind senior moments
They are nature's reminder
Don't sweat the petty stuff
Don't sweat the petty stuff
You gotta hang tough baby
No matter what comes
No matter what comes
In a hundred years or so
It's all forgotten
It's all forgotten
What? I already forgot
Can you clue me in?
Can you clue me in?
On why snow flakes all differ?
Maybe lost pattern?
Maybe lost pattern?
When God made special people
That gently touch hearts
