Enjoy what you got
Don't worry 'bout what you ain't*
*Key to happy life
Do what you can do
Avoid the things that you can't
(Only so much time...)
Dregs of life remain
To be consumed with gusto
Till they're all used up
When it's time to die
Move on. Another life waits
Yearning to be lived.
As the years pass by
We search for some relevance
Keeping up the fight
Artistic talent
Warrior mentality
Need them both. Too bad.
A life in Haiku
In seventeen syllables
Snapshots of a time
In Haiku-gawa
Everyone speaks only
Lyrical Language
It's not the doing,
What's important is the myth
Of the enjoyment
A young man, I sang
"Ma, he's making eyes at me"
In gay cabarets
Storms of life o'er time
Raindrops racing down windows
Inconsequential
In a dream I play
The piano at the bank
Moolah serenades
Haunted by mem'ries
I wend my way to dreamland
Behold new visions!
Who needs memory?
Now we have hard drives, thumb drives
To store our thinking
Think with the rhythm
Ravings of a lunatic
Predict the future
I just pretended
To have Alzheimer's Disease
"I don't know nuthin'"
I just didn't want
To converse with anyone
In the time I had
Exercise guru:
He's ninety seven years old
Doin' funky moves
The ultimate drug
But only while you taste it
A Henry's Ice Cream
