When all else fails, and life throws you a curve

And you finally realize, you’re on your last nerve

Just cross your fingers, and hope for the best

Forget what they need, what you need is your rest

They offer a moment, for you to relax

Only to find out, they’ll be taking it back

It’s then that you feel, your life has been foozled

They got you again, you’ve been cheated, bamboozled

More winds up on the table

Then winds up in the glass

I discovered making milkshakes

Can be a royal pain in the ass

I forget to put the top back on

Turned the blender up too high

Fruits, ice cream, oh what a mess!

Then the children start to cry

I guess I’m really not too good

At making these sweet treats

I’ll let the kiddies do their own

Lest I suffer more defeats

Early morning hours

Linger for an eternity

In ebony light

Dried up, depleted

I, like a wilted rose

On the yellowed page

Fell crumbled, defeated

And you left me that way

The Finish Line

I stumble over myself

Arms and legs a twisted mass

Running in all directions

And getting nowhere

Tripping my way through

Over hurdles too high to jump

Making my way toward

That ever elusive finish line
